I thought I had posted about this (with a photo) the last time it appeared but I can’t find the thread/post.

Anyway, I am on my abx this week.
And the rash is back.
Is this significant - or not.?

This rash was new several weeks ago - it’s not one I’ve had all along.
I am wondering if I got a new bite - or maybe it’s not a new bite - but just a flare caused by the abx.

I should post the photo of it ….

Either way - if abx are flaring it - that means active infection ?

Ugh

Thank you RainyCloud!!

Ugh - looks like other symptoms followed the rash - including a fever.
I also see on the calendar that I took three days off work. (And postponed my vax too I think)
I really don’t want to call in sick for three days again - that will be “pushing it”

Jeez - I hope it doesn’t ramp up again…

Girlie what about this:

Fixed drug reaction
A skin condition that occurs up to two weeks after a person takes a medication. The skin condition reappears at the same location every time a person takes that particular medication.

In the second picture it's not blue, just like yours.
