A member asked:

My son tested neg for lyme almost month ago had bite w ring but happen two more time and today light circle and rings all over leg can be lyme still?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: Lyme tests are notoriously unreliable and false negatives are common. If your son had tick bites and developed the characteristic rash, please have him checked again and consider treating based on the skin findings.
