I noticed this on my leg last night. To be honest, I haven't even stood on grass in months, I go for walks/runs outside but on the concrete in front of my house, and that's all I've done outdoors for months now.

I also have a lot of spiders in my house. I'm assuming/hoping this is what caused it.

IMO something else.

Doesn't look like an EM rash to me.

I agree that it doesn't look like a bulls eye rash, but please do keep an eye on it and watch for symptoms.

It's definitely not a bulls eye, but when I initially got Lyme the bite didn't form a bulls eye either.

Reba-I had a bullseye but before it became a bullseye it was a bumpy raised rash. It didn't look like your picture.

At this point, it's hard to tell if it's from Lyme or not though. That's why I said to keep an eye on it and to watch for symptoms. I haven't had any of the Lyme rashes when I get bit, so it's always just watching for symptoms for me.

Are you still in treatment, Reba? If so, is it for Lyme? If you are no longer in treatment, you need to seriously consider using a preventative. I've chosen to use the herb astragalus and it's working very well for me.

Has this rash site increased in size?
If it increases in size, I'd be very concerned.

You are smart to post the pic & start asking questions now.

Mine started as a very small circular rash that increased in size.

Keep us all posted b/c if it is from a bite, you'll need to act quickly.

Whether or not a tick bite, spider bite, any bite or rash,
if it worsens or doesn't go away- something's not right or your skin wouldn't be reacting.
So, you would want to see a health practitioner in that case b/c
Something happened even if you are not sure what.

Also, be aware of symptom development & write them down.

The color of the mark is fading but the skin is all dry and somewhat damaged.

It's hard to relate symptoms to this cause I don't know exactly when the mark appeared. I also started pulsing tindamax with Zithromax 6 weeks ago and have been herxing ever since.
