Is this red line on my arm blood poisoning?

I was in the bath earlier and suddenly noticed a weird jagged red/pink line on my right forearm, maybe three inches long. I immediately feared it was blood poisoning, but it's since faded quite a bit to where it's barely visible. I know I didn't scratch myself and I don't feel any raised area on the skin, so I don't know what to think. I can still see it, but only because I know what to look for.

If it is blood poisoning, can I afford to wait until tomorrow (it's 2 AM here). I don't have a ride to get to a doctor, and my parents both shrugged it off and said it's nothing. Needless to say, I'm still worried, so if someone could put my mind at ease about this, that'd be great.
