Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had these skin blotches appear on there skin or if anyone knows what it is.

I have them all over the right side of my torso where my liver would be, and now have them on my left side, and on my right side sort of on my waist line.

I will have a few of them appear over night, very red like the first pic, then they start to fade away like the second pic. I probably have 30 in a cluster semi faded over my liver while the ones on my waist line are the newest.

^^ these were at one time very red like the first pic but have been fading more

Thanks

Do they itch? Are they raised or flat?

No they don't itch and they are not raised.

I had something very similar on the forearms a few months back. A few blothes 1/8" to 1/4" across would appear overnight, and fade in a week or so. From start of first rash to end they lasted over a six week period in July thru Aug, then nothing since.

Showed photos to my LLMD on last visit. All he said was Lyme and co's cause curious skin symptoms.

Is there anything that is NOT a Lyme and co symptom??? I think my head could actually fall off my shoulders, and I'd find out it was a Lyme symptom!! [Smile]

I guess it is just a "lyme" symptom [Frown]
