A member asked:
My tick or bug bit is getting puffier and larger. is this possible lyme disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anything Possible: Does not sound like erythema chronicum migrans, the classic lyme disease eruption, but that is often followed by a non-descript rash. If this is tender, painful, warm to touch and you have any associated symptoms, please go see your doctor.
