Does anyone else have these?
I have these non-itcy bumps that resemble goosebumps. Mostly on legs but now on arms - yuck!
I "heard" that they can be from food sensitivites/allergies, hormones or just plain clogged pores in skin.
Thing is prior to this treamtment epidose (been at this for 8 years now)I had only a few on them on the inside of my knee but now 4 months into treatment they are coming out all over.
LLMD does not know what they are...Having so many food sensitivites/allergies I am wondering if I am reacting to something in my meds.
Anyone else get these? Thanks.

OMG! Thanks for reminding me of this symptom. I had that and thought I still did until I just looked.
I had a patch on my calve like that which never went away. It looked exactly like goosebumps but was always there. I thought it still was but I just looked and it isn't.
I don't know what causes it or why mine is gone.

Thanks...It's really wierd...
While it does not look like I would imagine a yeast rash would look like, it does seem to get worse when I am yeast herxing or the yeastie beasties are having a jail break.
I am thinking some sort of allergy (I am allergic to yeast). One of my doctors thought low grade food sensitvity. Who know..
It does not seem to get worse when I am lyme herxing though.

I think you're right. I think I remember reading it's related to the things you mentioned.

I have these on my arms. For me they feel a lot different than the allergic type of rash that I've gotten.
When I was having an allergy to a med, I got really itchy bumps in patches all over. I guess like hives. They were unmistakable though. The itching was incredibly bad and then I started having lung/breathing issues.

I have a lot of allergies but the goosebump type thing I had on my leg was completely painless and itch free.

Yea, mine are itch free as well and not the same as when I have a typical allergic reaction to say...Septra or the like.
Maybe it is just a pore issue and unrealted to lyme, allergyor such. They are just getting bad all of over!

Yep I have them on lower neck and upper chest and have had them for awhile. Dr.S who wrote a book on bart.had pictures identical to them, tiny little goose bumps close together and he called it a "chicken wire rash" caused by bart..
Found the pics on the web but don't have time to search them out.
