If Lyme something you can get over and over? It is possible to have a new bullseye from an old case of Lyme?

Yes and Yes.

I've heard of several people here [over the years] who suddenly had a bullseye show up and they'd never had one before.

If you get bit again, you start all over again....but if you're on abx, your recovery time shouldn't be as long. [theory here!]

The first time I got a bulls eye I never saw a tick and had no idea I had been bitten. I went to the doc that day and got short term treatment and was fine.

The bulls eye grew to be 10 inches round covering my whole skinny thigh.

Its impossible to know if you have had another unseen tick bite or if this is a manifestation of ongoing lyme.

I would definately call my doc PDQ. good luck
