Red lines on skin?

Hey,

So I noticed last night on my left ribcage..3-5 red small lines..some squiggly type..others more straight. Could this be Bart? Do not recall scratching anything there.

Doing Houttynia and Olive Leaf.

Thanks

 

I would assume they are Bartonella rashes also. Likely your treatment is bringing them out.

Near the bottom of the page are a couple of Bartonella rash pictures:

I'm glad that you followed those links! Now you know - you have Bartonella. I bet you have good results with the Houttuynia and Olive leaf combo! I used just the Houttuynia and did well.

How long have you been taking these two products? Have you noticed any improvements yet?

Watch them closely. If they fade and come back or if they aren't in the right places for stretch marks, then they are likely 'Bart marks' as I called them. Also keep an eye out for more to appear.

Some people don't see much change until they start treating for Bart as well.

If you have serious CNS symptoms, it's said that Bart is the reason.

If you aren't healing as you should with Lyme treatment and most of the 'regular' reasons for healing have been addressed, then it could be a Bart infection holding you back.

BUT - a person doesn't have to have the Bartonella rash in order to have Bartonella. It's best to check the symptom list in the "New to Lyme? " thread to help you determine if it's something that you should be concerned about.

If they are from Bartonella, they should go away with proper treatment.

The pictures are just showing the best ones, they don't have to be 'well defined', or purple to be a Bartonella rash. Mine were neither well defined all the time or purple - they were red.

Yes - although once the infection is gone, you should be without those marks if they were from Bart.

How are you doing on the Houttuynia?

Hang in there - you're winning the battle!
