My son took pictures of a rash that appeared on his chest. There were just a few small semi-circles and circles. They did not itch, were flat and disappeared the next day. He has Lyme and Babesia.

And thanks to all your suggestions... I now have the photos posted a few messages below in this thread.

first you have to get the pictures hosted on a website, like photobucket. It's free. That gives each image a web address which you can link to using the image link below this box where you type your message.

Yes, photobucket.com or imageshack.us are good, free hosting providers for low-bandwidth or infrequently accessed images.

They are pretty user friendly as well.

They look like multiple bites to me/multiple EM's

When did they appear?

You need to get him registered with an LLMD immediately just in case as he will need to start treatment NOW if they are.

Hi mjbucuk,

Is you son taking any new medication or supplements that coincided with the appearance of these circles?

When I've had these, it's been a reaction to something, usually occurring a week or so after I started the new treatment.

I found some pictures (the first three in the link, not the 4th one) that resemble your son's rash, as well as what I had.

http://www.dermatlas.org/derm/result.cfm?Diagnosis=1014265351

Last time mine were more defined circles with yellowish scaly centers, but when they were first beginning and ending, they were partial circles like in your son's photos.

As best I can figure, these come from a detox reaction--the body doing its best to clear toxins through the skin. Mine eventually faded after a couple of weeks and were only very slightly itchy. Mostly on the trunk area, front and back.

Hope he's OK.
Nutmeg

Oh yes, he was first diagnosed back about 6 years ago by Dr Jones. He has likely relapsed after being off antibiotics for 2 years... We had never found the Babesia before. Or maybe it is a whole new infection... Never had any bull's eye rashes before either.
