I posted about my early diagnosis bases soley on Erythema Migrans, no other symptoms. It came and went 3 times in the exact same place. I also got another one, that never got large or painful, but had the same center like my original bite. Before my diagnosis I decided it wasn't related. My question is this: Would a secondary EM have that "bite" mark in the center? Could it really be related or is it something else completely?

Hi Calimer, Welcome to LymeNet. Just wanted to send this "up" for you...sometimes it can take awhile for people to get online. Sorry I don't have an answer to your query myself, but hopefully someone will here soon. I'm from Portland myself...sent you a PM to let you know there's fellow lymies here in the NW.
Take care and enjoy this sun we are finally seeing! JavaBeing

Yes they are called satellite rashes when they appear like that!!!

From our personal experience and what I have read; the rashes vary widely and EM should be considered regardless of shape, color, etc.
The appearing and reappearing of rash in cycles is a lyme an co. thing.

Some of them do, yes, from postings I have seen over the years- and from people I have heard from= anecdotally- yes!! those are not bite marks just clearings in the center- is documented in lit as well not just anecdotally-
