I figured out how to post pictures on here, and I'm wondering how many of you think that this was the bulls eye rash? This is what the doctors claimed was ring worm, that the dermatologist proved otherwise.
Thanks! Sara

Eek. Definitely looks like Lyme! Regardless of whether or not you
saw a tick on you, you NEED to get to a doc who's Lyme Literate ala
ILADS (the international Lyme and associated diseases society)!
Check the Lyme disease association's online referral database,
and read about this disease as much physically possible. Your life
is at stake here!

This was last March. I had the rash also when I was 6. If this is the rash it will be my second time.

Those pictures look like the skin lesions that I keep getting off and on through out year ever since I got bit by a tick. I get them on my neck under/behind my ears on my chest and under my arms on the rib cage. Could they be the same thing?

I thought they might be bullseye's but with my doctor here in Florida, they said they were lesions, and actually at one time told me it was a ringworm - which it wasn't - so the dr called them mystery lesions. They never itch and they come and go on their own.

Yes, kbholley, you can get secondary rashes after the initial infection.

Do you have any symptoms?
BTW, save those pictures and take them with you when you see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor.
Hope you get some answers soon.
Hugs,

I have had - and still have - several small rashes like those. They last a very long time and only fade very gradually. I, too, was wondering if they were Lyme related or a separate issue as they also look like ringworm.

I have also had several of these which I thought were big ol' zits. This one's on my neck taken just a few days ago.
