How to remove red streak going up the thigh from infected risen on knee cap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: Its unclear from your writing what a "risen" is but red streaking can be indicative of lymphangitis or cellulitis both of which should be evaluated and treated by a physician (typically with antibiotics).
