When does the lymedisease rash show up?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
3 - 30 days: Erythema migrans is seen within 1 month of exposure to embedded tick. Sometimes it does not happen so the diagnosis can be missed. If you pulled a tick out of your skin, you can take a single dose 200mg of Minocycline or Doxycycline and prevent lyme disease. The blood test is not pos. Until 2 -3 weeks.
