Do bull's eye rashes occur in Lyme disease?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.

If it is a bull's eye rash, then it could be Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, and transmitted to humans by tick bite. The most common period when people get Lyme disease is the spring-to-fall period when the tick is most active. There are three stages of the disease, and your stage appears the mildest, earliest, and, if treated properly, resolves completely.

1. Where are those rashes located on the body?

2. How long have you had this rash?

3. How large is it (centimeters)? What is the shape (oval, circle, irregular)?

4. Which color is it?

5. Has the rash changed size or shape over time?

6. Do you have any other symptoms than rash?

7. Are you experiencing headaches, fever, and flu-like symptoms?

8. Have you been in the woods or outdoors the last few days, or do you live close to the woods?

It would be best if you could take a picture of the rash, so I can personally confirm. If it is Lyme disease, you should go to the emergency service to be examined by doctors. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics. I would suggest the following treatment:

1. Tablet Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 14 to 21 days. The drug is not recommended for pregnant women or children under eight years old.

2. Tablet Amoxicillin 500 mg three times a day for 14 to 21 days.

3. Tablet Cefuroxime axetil 500 mg twice a day for 14 to 21 days.

Consult a specialist doctor and take medications with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
