I have a friend who keeps getting these rashs. They come in what seems like cycles. Do they look like anything Lyme related?

I'm not a doctor, but they do look like they could be Lyme related to me.

Sometimes the firey red/purple rashes indicate a Lyme infection, possibly mixed with a coinfection.

It is worth having it checked out in my opinion.
