Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Could someone tell me if these two sets of rashes sounds like a Lyme tick rash? The rash I now revisit in my memory appeared on the front of my shin about 3-1/2 years ago. The location was just below where an athletic sock cuff would have ended. It was a growing red blotch without any clearing in the middle and the center was a very tiny pit, smaller than a pinhead, that was black. The blotch looked as if someone had thrown a baseball at my shin and it left a read mark. After the blotchiness began to fade, another skin condition developed. The sides of my lower leg turned a splotchy brown and it quickly took on the appearance of skin that was wrinkley, as if in a late stage of sunburned skin about to peel. A few months after this, I had numbness /prickliness over the tops of my feet, in particular on the right. Does Lyme usually cause other rashes to occur after the primary infection? Is there a tendency to have more symptoms closer to the original site of the infection? Also, under the site of the first rash, I often have bone pain, a concentrated form of achiness. Is that typical of Lyme Disease infection sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
