A member asked:
Should i go to the doctor if i have a red line going down my arm from a cut i got on my right hand yesterday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you should : A red streak related to a laceration is usually an indication of an infection that needs to be treated with antibiotics. If your tetanus is not up to date this should also be given. Make an appointment to be seen tomorrow.
