When to see doctor for red line on bug bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insect bites….: …show signs of infection when they develop a round or streak-like line that is spreading outward from the original bite. May also be painful or warm to touch. In more severe cases may have fever or feel ill. If have any of these signs should see a doctor immediately. Good luck!
