my 5 year old has bullseye shape rash on the back of his thigh (about dime-sized), which is about three weeks old (started out as solid red bump). He has had no symptoms (no fever or aches) except for systemic allergic hives. Took him to allergist (didn't even think about lyme disease in the midst of this winter) and no allergies. Just thought about the possibility of lyme disease last night when looking at the rash. Should I take him to llmd? If so, suggestions?

First, take a photo of the rash. If your child has had the rash for 3 weeks, it will probably disappear soon. Place a dime of something next to it so that there is a comparison in the photo.

I am sending you a list of LLMDs for your area in a private message.

I'm sorry but I am no longer accepting any private messages due to my own battle with lyme.
