Hiking on trails in Northern California, most recent hike was 15 days ago. about 5 days ago I noticed multiple red marks on my body. Not sure if this could be lyme or possibly just spider bites (there are wolf spiders that sometimes wander into my apartment).

Am mostly concerned about the first one. My guess is it might be multiple attempts by a spider to bite me in that area which is why the rash is so diffuse. There is no pain nor itchiness.

Hi there and welcome to the forum!
I am not able to diagnose you from your images, but you are right to be cautious. I never had any bulls eye rash, but believe I contracted lyme through the bite of some other insects than ticks.

Sorry I'm not at any more help for you, but you should definitely get it checked out. Allthough getting it checked might not be so easy given that most doctors will disregard it

Hi and welcome to our forum,
Not all people get a classic bullseye with Lyme and there are other co infections that can produce different skin issues.

I would keep an eye on it and also watch for any kind of symptoms.

If you want to find a Lyme literate MD you can go to ilads.org and request a list for your area or you can re post here seeking an llmd for your area but you would need to enable your email to get responses from members.


We encourage all new members to read"our new to Lyme" start here thread at the top of the page.
It has very helpful and useful information on Lyme, symptoms, detoxing, diet testing and much more.

Take care, Jo
