i have had this anoying rash under my left bicep for about a month now. it's red and itcy..but smooth. my doctor said i had shingles..and i disagreed. i have no blisters. i took prednisone for 5 days..but had side effects from it. the rash almost went away..then suddenly is reappearing..online not in excatly the same spot..it's now creaping toward my armpit. steriod creams give me some immediate relief...but it comes back.
About 2 months ago i got a nasty bite on my shin..that took about a month to finally heal...could i have been biten by a tick..and have lyme disease?

You need to get photos of the rash for future reference.  It may go away and crop up later.
Rashes from tick borne infection can vary.  The Canadian Lyme Foundation has a good page with pics of rashes.
