It doesn't look like a sunburn cause it
doesn't have that uniform color tone
like the sunburn on my back. It's kind
of splochy looking.

Is this a normal in Lyme treament or is
it mean something is not right? Or is it
totally unrelated?

Hard to say by not seeing it.. but several possibilities I can think of.

1. Doxy makes your skin less resistant to sunburn.. so keep that in mind. You need to always be protected when outdoors or a bad burn could occur.

2. Sometimes when folks herx they have a toxin kind of release from the skin. This can appear to be like you describe. I often get the Lyme rash back when herxing. Since you have been on the doxy for a month.. it is about the time a person can herx.

3. You may have been exposed to RMSF or Ehrlichiosis?? It can cause a rash on the hands and arms that is sort of splotchy spotted.

4. An allergic reaction to the meds. If you have no other problems.. this would not be my first choice.. but do be aware this could happen.

5. Yeast infection.

6. Other things I am too tired to think of and/or know about.

Hope that helps some.

Meanwhile.. enjoy the water!
