Red spot with outer ring has grown in diameter from 2 in to 6. is not round but oblong in shape. anti fungal nor steroid has helped. could it be lyme diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Yes, and if so, it is Lyme disease at an early and easily treatable stage. You might look at pictures of the Lyme rash, known as "erythema migrans," online. You should seek medical consultation right away, so that a doctor can get more information about this, and advise you appropriately.
