Does anyone know if it is possible to post a picture of a rash either on this site or another to see if anyone recognizes the rash?

I was told I needed to take a photo of my rash which I did, but now what? Is this just for showing a doctor, if I ever find one?

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with these kinds of discussion websites.

You will need to setup an acct with an online photo sharing site (photobucket, flickr) Once you have your account made you can upload the picture.

When the picture is uploaded it will have a specific address like http://photobucket.com/username/123453pic

This is the address you will put in when you are trying to share. If you have questions, let me know

Yes, you want to show the picture of the rash to your doctor, particularly if it is the "bullseye" rash of Lyme disease.

FYI - I made up that address link so there will not be a picture displayed.

Thanks

You may need it for proof with your insurance company. Hang onto it!!

Photobucket is not too hard to figure out. Contact me if you need help.
