Why is There Discharge/puss Coming out of my Belly Button? (photo)

I am almost 2 weeks post op from my tummy tuck and there is still fluid coming out of my belly button incision. it gets on my tank top too, so its not just a little. I have been wiping it out each day with a little alcohol but its not going away. It fluctuates from light yellow to clear-ish white. There is even a little bit of dried blood on my shirt when I remove it each day to shower. Is this something I should be worried about?
