Yes, this is the secondary rash of chronic Lyme. Mine was misdiagnosed as ringworm. Since I've started treatment 2 1/2 years ago, I've developed a rash at least 3 times. The ones I got while treating were quite spectacular looking, covering a huge area on my leg, kinda like very ragged overlapping ovals with expanding borders that would disappear over the course of a couple weeks.

I believe I've had Lyme since birth, and I am 62.

--------------------
Sick since at least age 6, now 67. Decades of misdiagnosis. Numerous arthritic, neuro, psych, vision, cardiac symptoms. Been treating for 7 years, incl 8 mos on IV. Bart was missed so now treating that.

My doctor says it's an encourging sign that the abx are doing their job. He says it indicates herx activity.

So I just have had this too. Large rash, in like a half circle, but not really looking like ringworm. It is in the site that I could have had a bug bite years ago.

My LLMD gave me antifungal cream... hm...

So, does your's itch too? I'm feeling soooo much better these days and then this appeared.

--------------------
Lyme, Babs, Fry Bug..... Whatever it is, may a treatment be discovered to make us all whole again!
