Does it itch?
Posted by groovy2 (Member # 6304) on :
The rash will be where you got bit--
I have heard that later on rashes can show up in different places --
But personally I dont think this is accurate- --Jay--

thanks jay, that is a relief.
rash must be from something else then

The rash is where you got bit. I got bit on the back of my knee and then a week later got one on my upper arm. I'm one of the 10% where I had more than one bullseye. Get it checked out by a llmd right away and don't waste time with a regular doctor.
good luck!

DebraKelly, thanks for the advice but all the LLMD's got booted out of practice where I am, even though i just returned from an endemic area. rash just showed up today. found tick in diff spot several days ago. will check at least with derma. if he is bulls eye literate.

It can be anywhere, and it can itch or not itch. If you have it you need to treat, regardless of what any test says.

Can someone please look at the pics of my bite and tell me if it looks like a Lyme rash / bite?
Posted by onbam (Member # 23758) on :
It does, and your symptoms are those of early infection too.

I was bitten on my forearm and a spectacular bullseye rash appeared on my calf a few weeks later.

the rash can absolutely show up in other places besides where you were bitten.
