It is surrounded by a yellowish tint of skin that runs 6 inches down my inner arm. I have tingling in the tip of my pinky. Is this a seirous concern/ what do I have?

Dear K,

YES, you may have an infection, go to the Doctor ASAP..it sounds like it is running up your arm. If it is...this is VERY serious and you need Antibiotics. Take your temperature. If it is above 100 go to the ER now.

Good luck
