Yes, this is the secondary rash of chronic Lyme. Mine was misdiagnosed as ringworm. Since I've started treatment 2 1/2 years ago, I've developed a rash at least 3 times. The ones I got while treating were quite spectacular looking, covering a huge area on my leg, kinda like very ragged overlapping ovals with expanding borders that would disappear over the course of a couple weeks.
I believe I've had Lyme since birth, and I am 62.

Yes... I've heard of it happening fairly often. Always amazes me!

My doctor says it's an encourging sign that the abx are doing their job. He says it indicates herx activity.

So I just have had this too. Large rash, in like a half circle, but not really looking like ringworm. It is in the site that I could have had a bug bite years ago.
My LLMD gave me antifungal cream... hm...
So, does your's itch too? I'm feeling soooo much better these days and then this appeared.
