I was sealing my deck yesterday which also meant getting weeds out of the way. Last night I noticed a red line maybe a line of blood about 1 1/2 inches long in the crease of my elbow. Right now it is red, 2 swollen lumps on each side and as long as the line and about a quarter inch wide and a little painful. Maybe a bug bite? or a scratch from the wooden deck? or something from a plant? I live in Homer, Alaska
Hi, Dear,Good Morning. Thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor online-clinic. I studied your query in-depth.-In my opinion the line with 2 lumps is mostly due to scratch from the Wooden deck. With the start and end lumps-due to high pressure trauma on the elbow crease.b-The possibility of bedbug bite needs to be ruled with the ER doctor, but its chances are remote.-Hope this would resolve your worry-some query. Wellcome again to Chat Doctor. Have a good day.
