I would suggest putting some antibiotic ointment at that spot. Then place the drain sponge on top. I always use either antibiotic ointment or another prescription cream then the drain sponge everyday after my shower.
It could be a sign of infection so give the antibiotic ointment a try and if it doesnt change then check with the doc.
