Have bulls-eye itchy rash -- don't know if it is Lyme or poison ivy. Need doctor to determine. Thanks.

I would suggest going to a walk-in clinic or your GP for immediate evaluation. Don't wait around for an LLMD appointment which could take weeks or months.
I'll send you a name for GA, but basically there are no LLMD's there.
a dermatologist could also biopsy the rash
IMPORTANT... Take a photo of the rash!! Put a ruler next to it and include your face if possible. Also, draw a line around it. If it expands it is probably a Lyme bullseye.
A bullseye is DIAGNOSTIC of Lyme. Get 200mg of doxy twice a day for 4-6 wks if possible.

Yeah GA is about worthless when it comes to LLMDs....I live here- but on the coast.
I always suggest people down here (and even in some parts of FL) travel to AL and TN. PM if you want that info.
But Lymetoo has a great suggestion- I mean if it is in fact a bullseye rash then anyone should give you at least a couple of weeks to get the process started.
