? Infection: The common bed bug is the cimex antennatus. Most people don't even know they have them. Signs are tiny blood spots on bed clothing. The bugs may cause itching and loss of sleep. However, they can lead to excessive scratching that can lead to a secondary skin infection. The streak could mean you have, possibly in your sleep, scratched and now may have a skin infection. Go to an uc & have it seen.

See a doctor: Need more info about the area of the thigh and the nature of the red streak and other associated symptoms. This needs to be seen to be appropriately diagnosed.

I have a rash between my first finger and my thumb that appeared one morning. The rash looks like small red pimples. Even though it does itch, I can stand not to itch it. Hydrocortisone does reduce redness, swelling, itching. Rash is nowhere else. ?
