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 marks can look different
Mine looked like long red/purphlish stretch marks all over my back

They can also look like faded scars

Had bart for 25 years, I have horrible eye pain,headaches, bad stomach distress (double over pain)

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...
