A member asked:

I have been bitten around a week ago its has a small whitehead on and now there is a thin red line coming from it should i be worried ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs evaluation: The thin red line suggests lymphangitis and it could spread to your lymph glands and into blood. It would be prudent to have it examined by a doctor to exclude infection spreading from the site of bite. See this site for more info. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007296.htm
