I have about 6 red tiny pin dots on my chest and stomach. Is that Lyme, Bart or Babs? Will they go away with treatment and what are they?

I read about a coinfection that had petticheae. I think it was erlichia?

Hopefully someone else can chime in.

Buhner says mycoplasma infections can cause them, too, in his new book.

Dr. S says they are caused by bart or babesia but if you look online a lot of things can cause them including some medications. Mine went away with babesia treatment.

I'm covered in thousands from arms down to my feet. I had them for years and they do turn brown, but start out as bright red dots.

I still get new 6-12 bright red spots every 2 weeks. These days they only appear on my lower leg between knees and ankles.

That area is typically bartonella.
