Hi guys so I have Babesia for sure [FISH positive], bart maybe and lyme probably, I've been having this rash appear and disappear on my forearms every so often for the last 6-8 months. It is not painful or itchy. My thought was babesia parasites hatching outside the red blood cells but I'm no expert obviously. Thoughts?

I can't tell much from that picture. Are they raised bumps, like hives?
Are you taking anything new. New food, new meds, new laundry soap, new lotion???
And, if can even be a girlfriend's fuzzy sweater.
See what I mean?
Process of elimination on everything is difficult, but doable.

not raised, no. nothing new. comes and goes every few weeks, lasts 2-3 hrs then goes away.

Oh my gosh look what I found. I thought I was always itching "just because." I thought that ecxema was just what was in our family. Check out this article. Now just because it was on the internet....... but who knows.

Boy I don't know about this MMS that she says is her cure. Beware the internet. Research and be leery.

I have rashes form on my fore arms also, but do not look like this. Mine are blood red and irregular in shape, usually smaller than an inch. They last for a few days and then fade. My LLND thinks it is my mold infection.

Be very leery of MMS. There are those that support the use of this, but the FDA warns that it turns into chlorine when mixed as directed: www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyalertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm220756.htm

www.theguardian.com/science/2010/sep/15/miracle-mineral-solutions-mms-bleach

And there's this:
"A federal jury in the Eastern District of Washington returned a guilty verdict yesterday against a Spokane, Washington, man for selling industrial bleach as a miracle cure for numerous diseases and illnesses, including cancer, AIDS, malaria, hepatitis, lyme disease, asthma and the common cold, the Department of Justice announced."

I used to have something very similar. My llmd just called a flushing red rash with marbled like pattern. I had it on my arms, feet and face and said he sees it quite often. Mine extend about 1/2 way up my forearms, 1/2 up my shins, and my entire face. Happens every other day or so, always in the early evening.

I know of someone else that has a rash that looks almost identical to the one you posted that picture of, only no one can identify it! I hope that if you do find out what it is, you will let us know! It may help a lot of other people.
