What Causes A Red Mark Between The Arm And Forearm?
Hi there, I was wearing a sweater and I rolled my sleeves up and they were kinda tight, and when I took my sweater off I had these red mark between my forearm and arm but they went away after a couple of minutes. My arm wasn t numb or anything, Did I cut my circulation off to the point of amputation or am I going to be fine? Noah,

Hello,
If the redness went away in a few minutes and if you are not having no symptoms at the moment there is nothing to worry and you are going to be fine.
Tight clothes can cause marks on skin and not necessarily they are stopping the circulation especially if you have no numbness or other signs in the area below the tightness.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
