Re: Hives, rash, now in shape of ring--doctor doesn't know

[Guest guest]

Did your Dr. consider Lyme disease?

From the initial rash to it's spreading, I'm not sure

of the time frame.

I recently got a rash on my cheek that was similar to

what you described -- kinda circular -- but a cheek

isn't a typical place for a tick bite! I used

essential oils and it's now gone (after doing a second

outbreak with little blisters and ITCHY!)

From the Merck Manual:

" The disease typically begins in the skin as a large

red spot, usually on the thigh, buttock, trunk, or

armpit. The spot expands to a diameter of 6 inches,

oftenwith a cenral clearing. At least 75% of the

infected people have this early sign. Mearly half of

the people develop more, usually smaller, red areas

soon after the large red spots appear.

Many people with Lyme disease feel ill and have such

sypmtoms of fatigue, chills, and fever, headaches,

stiff neck, and muscle and joint aches. Less common

ssymptoms include backache, nausea and vominting, sore

throat, swollen lymph nodes, and an enlarged spleen.

Althought most symptoms come and go, the ill feeling

and fatigue may persist for weeks..... "

It goes onto describe what happens if it's not

intervened with.
