Should I Be Concerned About Splotchy Red Line On The Upper Right Arm 2 Above The Spot For Pneumonia Shots?
I have a splotchy red line on the upper right arm that travels into the armpit. It is sore to the touch. I have had no injuries to the arm except for a pneumonia shot about 2 inches from where the red begins. Should I proceed to the doctors office or ER?

it can be a lymphangitis , it is common after any trauma to the skin , after scratching or bites or injections.
these need treatment and rest of the affected limb.
