For years I have had these spots on my hands - they are raised spots that actually increase and decrease at different times. I have been to various dermas and they say it is nothing or a virus. Now that I am on the track of getting tested for Lyme, could they be related?

My daughter used to have them around her knuckles. They were little red bumps. At the same time, the skin on the soles of her feet would peel. One doctor said he believed it was vasculitis. Both have been gone since she started treatment for lyme.

Are these spots,just sort of round or do some of them join together to make raised linear reds lines?

I have both.On my knees.Some are just raised red round bumps.Others really go hawwire and will form the linear raised bumps.

SO fed up with them.I was doing treatment and all of these spots went totally away.

This spring I had another explosion of them,I feel like I'm at square one again.Until I was properly diagnosed w/Lyme,no dermatologist could help.These bumps seem for me to come in cycles,like Lyme growing,spring time is the worst time for me.

Do your bumps eventually fade or get white flaky like peeling on them?

I was told they were Lyme lesions(ACA lesions)?,sure would like to rid of them forever.Good luck to you.
