This may be a dumb question but I was wondering if anyone has experienced getting the bullseye rash long after thet started abx. Also, is the area supposed to be sensitive at all? For the last 2 months I have gotten these small circular bruise looking things in the same exact area and I don't remember having bumped myself there even once. The areas are not sore accept slightly when I put a pretty good amount of pressure. They are probably just bruises but I was wondering by chance if this has happened to anyone else. thanks Posts: 99 | From California | Registered: Feb 2005

Weird, a month or so before my major symptoms started I had a large oval "bruise" on my stomach but for the life of me I could not remember hitting into anything. It was not painful or itchy but it did hurt a little bit when pressing on it.
I assumed all EM rashes had to be round, bullseye, painful, raised and crusty or something like that....
However I was looking at EM rash pictures on google today and some of the non-bullseye bruise looking ones are eerily similar to what I had.... No way to know for sure now if it was a rash or not, at that point I knew absolutely nothing about lyme... Who knows?
Did you ever have them looked at by a doctor?
back to the eternal waiting for my Igenex results to come in.... Ugh...

Yes, mine come up looking like a bruise but are definitely bull's eyes with central clearing etc. I have been on abx 3+ years and just got one on my knee a couple days ago along with knee swelling. This is not the first time..My doc calls them "satellite" rashes.

Ever check your bedding for bed bugs. Between 2 and 4 in the morning I believe. Lots more folks have them then you think, including maybe you. Even got recognized as an epidemic in the national news a few months ago. Expert said Europe and North Americawere having an unexplainable epidemic. Hm? Same for Lyme if I'm not mistaken.
I believe bed bugs are an unrecognized vector for Lyme and related pathogens.
