Brief Answer:
Looks like venous thrombosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Your symptoms indicate venous thrombosis.

The red line is thrombosed vein.

Get a color doppler of arm done sooner.See doctor as this thrombosed veins can sometimes throw emboli to distant organs.

Also please post one more good photograph- a close up one.That will consolidate my opinion.

Hope this helps.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
