My daughter had 3 red bumps on her chest. 1 grew to 5cm wide with a red ring & white center. no red in the very center & not itchy. could this be lyme?

Lyme: Sounds suspicious. Would have her checked out as the consequences of lyme are significant . Ringworm usually is not that large. f/u w/ doc

Doubt it.: A photo would be very helpful but I would suspect given your daughter age to be ringworms (tinea) - a fungal infection.

Picture: a picture would be helpful to see if it is lyme disease. Not all red ring rashes of lyme are target like. The fact that it grew and was pale in the center is suspicious. Take her to her pediatrician, and if you have pictures, show it to him.

Insect bite. Red raised bump and then often itchy rash extended out about 1.5 inches to left (no bullseye). If it was Lymes would it have kept expanding? Would it also have faded away after two days of Neosporin if it were Lymes? No other symptoms?
