What could red streaks down my leg be caused by?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible cellulitis: Red streaks running down the leg can often be a sign of infection or cellulitis in the region. You should have this condition checked by your primary care provider. If you have a fever and/or chills and feel constitutionally ill, you should be seen urgently to begin treatment
