Bulls eye rash?

Okay maybe I'm being overly cautious, paranoid here... but was feeling like **** this afternoon and this evening so got a hot shower.  While in the shower I noticed a rash on my arm... no kidding it looked like a very small bulls eye rash.  I thought well maybe it's just coincidence and I got too hot.  So I got out of the shower... it's been like an hour and it's still there!  It's right in the crease of my arm and is red, round, and clear in the middle.  Can these rashes come up later in the disease during treatment?  I've never noticed one before.  I tried to get a picture of it, but can't see it really in the pics.     If it is a lyme rash will it get bigger or will it fade?  Very strange.

I don't think you're paranoid, just cautious.

Keep trying to get a photo of it, and write down what date and time you take the photos, so you have a progressive record of changes.  And try to get a ruler into the photo so measurements are clear.

I know, it's hard to do.  I was recently trying to document a bite on the back of my thigh, and if THAT wasn't funny...between a mirror, and the cell phone camera, and the ruler, and making sure the light was right ...  ha!

About whether the bugs make *additional* rashes like that, I don't know.  Sorry!

(I had an MD tell me my latest bite wasn't from a tick, so I deleted all the photos off my cell phone, and THEN I saw a photo in a book that was pretty darn close to what mine had looked like ... but now I have no proof!)

If it's a lyme bullseye it will probably expand and stay for awhile.

I was very interested by your 'poss. bullseye' - several months ago I had a 'painful spot' appear on my buttock - at the same place or very near to the 'tick-bite' - this was over a year after bite. At first I thought it was just 'a spot' [zit!?] - but it grew to about 3 inches in diam. was red with a small black centre - it stayed for several weeks and I can still see a 'mark' there.  I looked through loads of pics. of bullseyes etc; and it did look like some of the 'small' bullseye pictures.!!
