What Does A Red Streak From The Thumb To The Armpit Indicate?
My grand daughter who is 5 has a red streak running from left thumb to axilla with a mosquito bite in the bend of the inside elbow and a redness to her left thumb where she said she scratched it while in the pool at swim lessons. What does this indicate?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Red streaking on the skin can be due to bacteria. This can be a sign that tiny lymph vessels under the skin surface are infected by staph or strep germs.
Your grand daughter needs medical care promptly. If her primary care physician is unavailable, please take her to the nearest emergency room.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
