Have that evaluated: This "line" in particular may be what's referred to as lymphangitis, inflammation of the lymph drainage tract that can be related to an infection. Alternatively, it could represent inflammation of a blood vessel related to a blood clot. Again, I would encourage you to be seen sooner rather than later as this could be a sign of something more serious.
