  • Small skin tear with redness and a streak?

    If someone has a red streak from the reddened area towards the armpit, it may indicate potentially serious infection and can be an urgent matter. Especially if the red streak is tender. Unless the red streak has resolved and the locally reddened area is resolving, this needs to be evaluated, urgently. Other signs of serious infection include fever, chills, not feeling well, sometimes just feeling more tired than usual. Important Note: This is general advice, and as a responsible medical professional, I do give medical advice to individual cases, without examining and having a doctor-patient relationship. Best of luck. READ MORE
