Since I got bit, before I had symptoms, not in the same place as the alleged "bite" that I found on my back....I have gotten nasty rashes underneath my arms, in my arm pits.

They burn and are irritated, went to the dermatologist about them, they seemed alarmed and baffled, gave me steroid cream, it helps a bit, but they never really go away.

When I went to a new doctor about my neck pain. She swore it was from inflammation and gave me steroids.

At that time, I was still on doxy and actually started some Amoxicillin with it (just "trying" them out together) and I don't know what happened but I swear, when I combined those 2 antibiotics together, or if it was the steroids they gave me, those rashes which are nasty and oval shaped, turned into BULL'S EYE RASHES. They completely went away and then came right back.

I even took pictures of them when they turned into Bull's eye rashes. It was so bizarre because I never had a bull's eye rash in the beginning when I got bit on my back.

When that happened, I happened to have a neurologist appt and a regular doctor appt that week, and I showed them both who both agreed to test me again for Lyme because that was a "bull's eye rash". After I finished the antibiotics, I tested again through Labcorp and then tested positive for Lyme.

Anyone know why that would happen or if it is some WEIRD coincidence?

Regardless, has anyone else developed skin weirdness?
