Is there a way to differentiate between Lyme and Ringworm? Neighbors child has a circular rash (not bullseye) on upper calf.
They are treating him for ringwork with a prescribed cream.
They live in the same neighborhood and have seen ticks on children and in house.

Thanks, sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you at the rally. My youngest was keeping me busy.

Hello, I got the EM around may 2 and still have the spot where the tic was removed. You might get a magnafying glass and see if you could see a spot where the tic fed.Maybe you would see it?

Good evening DJP,
I had what I THOUGHT were multiple ringworm rashes for many years. They didn't bother me that much, so I ignored them-
BIG MISTAKE!
TBD rashes come in many shapes and sizes.
My best, M
