Yes, Yes, Yes! I freaked out and immediately thought it was a reinfection. My son, who is almost 5 started treatment. He has never had an EM rash because he is congenital. Sure enough, about 3 months into abx and he had a HUGE EM rash in his groin area.
My LLMD took a pic for her records and said, "yep. That's what happens some times."
Hang in there. Treat, treat, treat. And, in my mom opinion, I would NOT stop with 6 weeks of abx, even with a fresh bite. I would have my pediatrician consult with an LLMD and treat for a few more months, or switch to the Cowden or a homeopathic. And tax loads and loads of probiotics.

We are on a 3 month treatment plan, it just seemed
to me that after 6 weeks, she would have been
unlikely to get more EM rashes.
We are going to
continue to give her the ABX, don't get me wrong.
Do the rashes mean that she still has an active
infection? Even after what most LLMD's consider
enough treatment?

Take plenty of pictures! Yes, it happened to me. It was the ONLY EM rash I ever had... YEARS after being infected with Lyme. I believe I was on Amox?? And suddenly I got an EM rash on my side. Strangely enough, it wasn't even a circle. It was a perfect triangle!
