This is the rash that I've gotten on my elbows periodically for a few years. I've thought it was bart related?
The rash, itching and raw things happen, then the bone becomes inflammed and screams. Haven't had it in months and then today here it is again. Feels like I've set my elbow in some chemicals?
Do you have any info on this elbow and lyme connection?
Thanks, Pam

Interesting, my left elbow looks like your picture. Mine goes through phases where it turns red and rough (feels like paper), peels a little bit, then looks shiny and feels like a scar. It is usually stays in the scar phase for several months.
I also have these spots near my knees and ankles. My Right ankle was diagnosed as ACA (by a dermatologist before the other spots showed up). I'm assuming that the other spots are the same.
Thankfully, mine do not itch or hurt.
Map, have you shown your rash/spot to a doctor? Maybe a dermatologist could help you properly diagnose it. If it turns out to be an ACA rash that is associated with Lyme.
