What Caused Red Line Going Down To Spine After Falling From Steps?

I fell from the top of my steps outside yesterday on the ice and landed on my back. Have lower back pain on the right side and now noticed this morning a red line going directly down my spine. It s not a scratch and does not hurt or burn. No feeling or knowledge it was there until I looked in the mirror. What would cause that? It wasn t there last night?

hi,
in my opinion it could be ice burn if your skin was bare on ice at the moment of falling, if you have no pain no worries
