I have got what I am pretty sure is a bullseye rash this winter and last winter. It shows up in the fall when the weather starts to cool down and goes away in the spring when the weather warms up.
It starts out as a few bumps and then flattens into a red rash and expands to the size of a tennis ball. Once it gets to this size it developes an inner ring and an outer ring for about a day. Then the inner ring disappears and the outer ring widens. It stays like this for awhile & then fades as soon as the weather warms up.
It acted the same way both times and is in the exact same location on my leg. I am already in treatment for Lyme and have seen much improvement in the last couple years. Does anyone else have a reoccuring bullseye that acts like this or any ideas in relation to why it only comes during the winter?
Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary --
one thing you want to do is take pictures - to save and to show your doctor -
put something in the picture of a known size -- like a coin --
If you can post a picture here - Much easier than describing what it looks like -
I got bit on the back of my leg - but I saw the Bullseye -
As far as I know my bullseye has not come back- but I could easily miss seeing it --
What you describe sounds like A Bullseye to me -
Take care --Jay--
