Does anyone else have bad itches, I have had bumps on my palms a few times with my lyme- currently off abx Also have small red dots on thighs and above ribs.
Now have a couple of palm bumps- they are very sensitive to touch- thought i had a sliver..
I also have itchy head and face. anyone else? just wondering.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come around, but for now...
One of fiance's major symptoms was skin troubles--rashes, itching/stinging bumps...
Nothing touched it until Rifampin (although his bart test was negative). Cat's claw also seems to help.
He gets symptomatic relief with artemisinin gel, peppermint enzyme spray, and hot baths/showers.

Funny you should mention that; I'd been pretending that my left palm wasn't itchy on and off...I keep pushing out the symptoms as they arise, because they make no sense to me...
As far as little red itchy dots go, yes, indeed I have those too. And they move around - one day it's here, the next day it's there, the next day it's there, eesh...
Please please let me know if you find out whether this is a symptom of a co-infection!!!

My sister in south jersey has the same thing. itchy red bumps that move around on her body.
She went to a dermatologist today and is going to an LLMD next week.
I think it's rocky mounted spotted fever.

Please keep me updated; it's really important. There is little RMSF in the Eastern Canada (I thought!)...so if it is for her, I need to get checked out!
