Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 My son and I have had these rashes that I thought were ring worm, several times. I see identical ones on the linked pictures. I had these over and over again while I was pregnant with him. They never responded to antifungals. Caryn > > Sandy..I have to tell you that the ONLY rash I've ever had that resembled a bulls eye was when I " thought " I had ringworm.? We didn't treat the ringworm (I was 19) and a month later I was in the hospital with a 104.5 fever with 10 people surrounding me getting ready to do a spinal tap because they thought I had meningitis.? HMMMM.? I refused the spinal tap because I was scared and 19 and told them all where to go. > > I told this story to Dr. W and he said this is very common and the ringworm rash can be mistaken and really be a small bulls eye. > > Tami > > > Lyme vs ringworm rash > > > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > I posted our Europe group recently about rashes.?
