i went and woke my dad up and asked him he said it's not blood poisoning and it looks just like a scratch but he was half awake though too

yes, its blood poisoning most likely, did you get bit? i had it running up my arm from a cat bite and it happened in a matter of hours. get to a doctor.

if you have any reason to believe it may be an infection for what ever reason, and from whatever source, rather than something else, you had best have it looked at right away. in the presence of *infection* it could indicate "blood poisoning".. not good!! good luck!

Could be something to worry about. Could be cellulitis which would need to be treated with antibiotics.

Yes, please see your doctor. Have you ever heard of cellulitis? It doesn't take a long time to spread. Good luck and call now (or go to a walkin clinic).

Yes, it could be serious.
Go to the ER.
