Bulls Eye Rash Not Lyme Disease Lyme Disease Rash, But Isn't Bulls-eye??

Lyme Disease rash, but isn't bulls-eye?? - bulls eye rash not lyme disease

I think I have Lyme disease. My doctor examined me for a few days because I have all the symtpoms less ruthless ... Either way, I thought. I noticed a lot of shots / rash appears on both legs, a few days after my symptoms, but I thought that came into contact with something. Then I went to the doctor, I went home and did not take an accurate (as shown, because) I told him not to say rash. It is almost a mottled, almost like a cross between poison ivy and hives. First, red bumps, but are now grown below the surface and darker. Has anyone experience a series of articles was related to Lyme disease? Please help!

Sounds like it could be discovered fever Rocky Mountains. I have had 5-6 periods of the eruption. I also have Lyme disease. They are often many types of infection from a tick bite. Go for a Lyme specialist. Most GPs do not go in the right kind of evidence.

Take some pictures of the eruption, to show the whole image the distribution and dissemination of this and in a few planes. This could be important to help the doctors diagnose and treat the right side.

I had a weak positive ELISA (.85), and several criteria of the bands (IgM and IgG) in a Western blot almost one years later, and still today when I take my picture rash I have doctors who question the initial diagnosis.

So my advice is get a camera digital - which is best for you to see whether the photo came) with visible detail (orientation and light and has a friend or relative to take a photo eruption.

There is so much controversy about this illness. If in doubt I would get some antibiotics as a prophalaxis rather than risk the hell I have been too and back these last 6 1/2 years.
A bulls eye rash is the Hall mark of Lyme and does not need a blood test to confirm by then you have missed the window of opportunity to treat. The antibodies the test looks for do not appear until week 8 even if they do at all.

My daughter did not show any symptoms, except for tired legs. After the blood test show positive or negative, from there. To my daughters, one months of antibiotics. Detected early, there is no lasting effect.

Another possibility would be Lichen Planus. This can actually be determined by a dermatologist. I was misdiagnosed several times as a doctor "" Then I went to a dermatologist, who had a biopsy, simple, painless (with Novacaine), and it was diagnosed.
The only way to find out is looking for professional advice. A dermatologist can test for Lyme disease leads.
Good luck.

If I you I would ask your doctor. If I recall rash of Lyme disease is localized to the bite. If you see in the two legs and have other symptoms of Lyme disease (history of being outdoors, malaise, fatigue, pain, joint pain, etc.), can not your doctor tells you otherwise, that the foot of the mountain. Both are easily treated with antibiotics.
