Redness with entry point of catheter?

My Father had a catheter put in two weeks ago. There is sometimes a little discharge from the end. What is the best way to keep this area clean and comfortable?

Not knowing what type of catheter I suggest speaking with his doctor and his team.
Redness at any catheter site should be reported to your father’s PCP. Redness can be s sign of infection. Call them & ask them to have a look.
