Hike frequently. about a month ago, found a deer tick crawling on arm - no evidence of bite. small rash on stomach appeared - no change since. lyme?

Depends on location: Lyme disease is a regional problem. If you live in an area where Lyme disease is common you should see a doctor. If you are not hiking in an area with Lyme disease look elsewhere for the cause of the rash.
