It could be Bartonella, look at this web site, it has a picture.

dark red/purple. They are more along his shoulders and the back of his neck. I

first noticed two days ago, but I have been watching this closely and it seems

they are now spreading lower. Anyone seen anything like this before? It is a

first for us. Wondering if it is viral or bacterial related. He has not been

physically well for the past few days. Mostly allergy/sinus type symptoms. Only

a low grade fever in the 99's at most.

Wow, what it does look like is found here:

Sort of reminds me of tiny stretch marks.

And it just hit me that my son also had a few red dots on the insides of his

hands about 4-5 days ago. It went away and didn't seem to bother him so it

slipped my mind.

That sounds like a Bartonella type of rash, though many doctors will not recognize it as such. Anne M., BSN, MSN/IH, RNmcfighter@...

I uploaded photos of the streaks and named the file " MJ rash " . The quality is

not the best, but hopefully you can see. They are faint lines. Please let me

know if anyone recognizes these streaks. Thank you!
