Does anyone get *repeated* round red rashes?

Someone asked me recently if I got round red rashes every so often from Lyme ....

Well, I never got any rash at all, so the answer from me was ... no.

But I wanted to ask those of you who have NOT taken treatment for Lyme whether you get repeated solid, red round  rashes about an inch or two across --  anybody?

Thanks!

No, in 28 years I've only ever had one rash from Lyme. It was when I first got bitten, it was tiny, a ring less than an inch across.

I have red marks or patches all over my breasts, so I don't know if you would consider them a rash but they are ugly to me and they have been there for 18 mos.

For awhile, I didn't believe I saw either a tick or a rash.  But as soon as I saw a picture on an Australian dermatologist's website showing a typical rash of an Australian Lyme patient, I realized I did indeed have a rash.  There was no clearing in the middle.  It looked like a 3 inch round sunburn on the back of my calf...with a little "scab" in the middle. I remember wondering, "How in the world did I do that?"  Hah! I shudder now, to realize what it was.  It was short lived and I forgot about it.

But I haven't seen a rash since.
