Should I be concerned with the way my drain site is healing? (photo)

Autumn87
I had my drains in for 11 days and they were taken out 8 days ago.. the right drain site is closing pretty nice.. as for the left as you can see in the picture is still draining and does not seem to be closing up as well.. also next to my left drain site are a bunch of tiny incisions opening with stitches poking out....is this common? should I just keep treating as been doing with neosporn and covering with gauze?
