So, the "Bart rashes" that you can google on line, the guy who has the LONG ones on his hips, I have exactly the same ones.
Then along with those, at the same time TONS that look like little squiggly things are all over my inner theighs, and now the front as of this month.
The ones on my inner theigh are the same color as the ones that look like scratch marks on my sides.
Also, as of this month they are on top of my chest and breast area. Is this normal?
I dunno how to keep them from spreading. I am only 20.
They will lighten up and then come back dark. And they will look like they are going away, but then even more come. Then the same thing again, and again.
The shin splints are not as bad anymore, but My soles get soooo stiff and so tender to walk on. The anxiety comes and goes.
I just need some adivice about Bartonella, I am so scared that this infection is getting worse since its spreading.
Thanks everyone.

Are you treating it?

If you are in treatment, this is completely normal.
In most patients, the rashes go away with adequate treatment.
The herb Resveratrol from Japanese Knotweed lowers VEGF - vascular endothelial growth factor. It can help with the squiggly, capillary rashes. It also kills Bartonella, so you may herx more!

My child's rash progresses and retreats slowly.
Hers sound exactly like yours--some even appear more like grooves in the skin.
Hers exploded once treatment started than faded over several months to almost completely gone (meaning most had disappeared but only a few remained) and her skin was looking normal again.
Abx must have stopped working unfortunately because they slowly came back--again exploded once treatment dosage was upped--we're now waiting and hoping for them to disappear again (and hopefully be done with this co-infection.)
Regarding poster recommending Resveratrol: Where do you get your Resveratrol? Brand, dosage?
