I absolutely, positively, have not had scratches in these areas. They have been appearing since I started Cumanda upon sending the GB back for repair.

Back of the calf shot, FYI.

I get them all over, it's bizarre.

My husband and I get scratches just like those. Bartonella.

They don't feel any different than unscratched skin - not sore.

They appear out of nowhere - no injury - and disappear in a few days.

I get them on my wrists and hands. Hubby got them on his back.

My daughter has horrible scratches on her arm and she says she does not remember doing anything. Do they itch? Hers itch bad.

We just put neosporin + pain and a sterile pad on it before she left for school. Is this OK?

May health be with you!

Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began.

I have these too at times. My old LLMD thought nothing of them.

Bart rash does not scab over. It is caused by growth of blood vessels which are under the skin.

Usually bart scratches do not come and go. They typically go when you have had adequate treatment. Mine would change appearance and get darker sometimes after a shower or bath.

Oh my gosh - I had been getting these on and off for years! (along with cyclical flue-like and neurological symptoms).

My GP thought I was nuts when I would tell her about it!

Finally was diagnosed with Lyme/Ehrlichiosis this past spring.

Can't believe I finally found the possible reason
