Did anyone hear the lyme conference talk about rashes or the skin, early sat. a.m.? Did they happen to mention any connection with lyme and Rosacea? or ocular Rosacea? I have this and wondered if anyone has heard of a connection between lyme and ocular rosacea. Thanks for any input.

There was someone, a dermatologist, who spoke about skin conditions that could be mistaken for the EM rash of lyme.
I don't remember what, if anything, was said about rosacea. If you are really interested, you could get the DVD from the conference. Or get the name of the presenter and some contact info, and go to the source. If you didn't ask for medical assistance, just information, maybe you might get an answer.
There is a website with info on rosacea and if you scroll down, a question about lyme. But I am not sure how well most specialists understand lyme, so this might not be the definitive answer on the subject.
