Hi there, I have been pulsing clarithromycin/tinidazole and clindamycin/quinine. Since starting 25 days ago, I have been getting these rashses quite often. They start out almost as a red pimple, then expands to what looks like a cigarette burn. Then they go away after a few days. I always thought they were from Bart ( which i tested positive for), not babesia ( which i tested negative for) Has anyone seen this type of rash before? I will post the pic below. Thanks!
I don't have a clue myself.

Look at the web for scabies from skin mites, the good info sites. I have finally been made aware that the skin issues I've had for the last 10 yrs is scabies.
It's parasites.

I've gotten those rashes. I think it is probably Lyme or bartonella. I'm pretty sure it's not babesia, because as far as I know, babesia doesn't cause rashes.
I don't think that is scabies. Doesn't scabies look more like poison ivy? I've never seen it before.

Thanks for the responses. I always thought they were bart, but since starting my lyme/babs treatment they have really been popping up. Maybe they are just lyme related. Did yours eventually go away?

My rashes seem to come and go a lot. I haven't gotten one like that in a while though.

Just tonight I shared this document that had various skin manifestations of chronic Lyme- pictures of all sorts.
I can't say what it is that you shared, but take a look at the photos on page 4 of this document.
