Can someone share with me what their Bart. rash looked/s like?
I am feeling good in regards to Q-Fever, Lyme and Babs. but am now getting hit with what I think are Bart symptoms. I never treated for Bart. ..Well I did but stopped after a week.
Both of my achilles are killing me, got dx. via MRI with Osteitis Pubis (severe inflamation of my pubic bone), sore ribs, and a host of neuralgia symptoms from the neck up like someone poured boiling water on my scalp and alot of frontal headaches/eye pain/light sensitivity.
At any rate I noticed today that I have these marks on my legs that look like I got scratched -literally looks like a cat scratched me.
These scratch like marks are not red but white and under the skin. Almost like a long skinny scar presentation.
Has anyone had a Bart rash appear like this?

Bart can look like you described. My husband had them on his calf and they were white like you described and just looked like a scratch that would not go away.
LLMD confirmed they were bart.

Thanks for your feedback...I am very suspicous re; Bart.
I was thinking that they were faded scars but I would have remembered cuts that big - plus they appear almost overnight.
That is exactly what mine looks like - a scratch that does not go away and I keep getting more and more of them everyday.
The symptoms that seem to not go away look to be Bart symptoms so I guess I better jump back into treatment again.
I see my LLMD next week. Time to jump back on Rifampin and Doxy...
