Do the rashes keep coming back? Even after treatment? Maybe it isn't all gone?
I am finding that whenever I have a open wound I get a rash. And a bad one.
2 of my tick bites didnt even heal for about a year.
I had open heart surgery, broke out with a rash all over my chest.
I burnt myself over 3 weeks ago on my left forearm and for the past week have had a rash all over it and now spreading.
And the burn is not healing. I went to the ER last week for other reasons (doc thought I had a blood clot, thankfully didn't) The ER doc didnt prescribe silvadine said to keep doing what I was doing.
Said that part of the arm gets very irritated. WELL I am very irritated and ready to cut my arm off. Can't sleep and it is making me feel like crap.
Anyone with Bart have similiar experience with the rashes and wounds not healing?

That sounds a little different than a typical Bart rash.
That sounds more like a Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever rash.

What does the rash look like? What treatment did you get?
Cold sore means immune system is down.

I have Rocky Mountain too!
Rash is more like pimples, they are raised and break open. And soooooo itchy!
I did Doxy for 2 months and Cef on the picc for 6 weeks. Haven't been on ANY treatment since March.
I had open heart in April and went through that recovery. I see my ID on Monday but cannot wait until them to get something for this.
It is making me crazy.

I have Bart rash but mine doesn't sound like yours though...
Mine usually comes out after my epsom salt soak. Long skinny streaks kind of raised and not flat. Then disappear w/in an hour or two and my skin is back to normal as if I never had a rash!! Very strange!

I went to the doctors. My primary wasnt there so I saw another doctor.
She took a culture and put me on cephalexin. Also gave me some silvadine.
I see my ID on Monday. Depending on what the culture comes back as they may do a biopsy. I think they should anyway just to be sure of what it is....
I have to many things going on inside that who knows what it could be anymore. Tiny little aliens trying to get out LOL
I will have all my bloodwork done again. Hopefully this will be figured out.
