Could you all share with me any types of rashes of skin changes/issues you experienced from Bartonella?

I never tested positive for it, but we all know the story there I think.

Over twenty species of Bart, and only two with blood tests if I remember correctly.

Anyway, my shin pain didn't start until recently. Before that the major clue was what looked like scratches on my face.

Looks like you scratched yourself, but you can't duplicate it if you try.

I break out in spontaneous "scratches," usually on my trunk. Once I had a set from my right shoulder blade diagonal down my back to my left hip, looked just like claw marks could have made it.

Big spider web looking rashes on my stomach.

Been noticing an increasing number of nodules appearing on my shins, I think this is bart related also.

I've had a lot of bart sx for a long time, but got new ones too when I began certain abx that must have hit/stirred it up a little.

Oh, and skin tags seem to be fairly common too. In fact, hold on...

Duh me. Here is some Bart info and pics. And down near the bottom is an E-book that has lots of pics of Bartonella. I've seen the hard copy and it was very informative.

I have had these scratches to that are two wide to be cat scratches. I had one on my foot a couple of weeks ago, the top and it looked like scratches from one of those ghost shows. I used

to get these mysterious scratches on my back to in pretty much the same spot. I sometimes get that really deep breaking bone feeling in my legs and hot spots that move around.I know people say

they look like stretch marks but how do you know the difference between that and from having been pregnant. I was not positive for any coinfections

but a low cd57. We have cats and always have. My stepdad is sick I think with lyme as well as my mom. I told him to at least get tested at the VA for Bart. He had a constant high fever this winter. They did test him and he was positive.

They gave him a few weeks of antibiotics and called it good.He and my mom are so ill. This is really a sin to overlook this.

Thanks for all the replies.

Could you guys please take a look at this link? It shows some recent pictures of weird "scratch" marks I randomly get on my upper arms. They appear at different times, out of nowhere, and they gradually fade away. They appear redder in person, but the pictures give a general idea. They are semi thick "scratch" marks, several at once, all in a row:

What do you think? Others have suggested Bart. I tested negative for Bart but my LLMD clinically diagnosed me with Bart.
