I've been reading about and looking at pictures of Bartonella rashes...

In the last year or so I HAVE gained weight...but the stretch marks I have had in the past have always been white...on the back side of my mid section I have red ones that look just like Bart rashes I've been looking at. The only thing is...they haven't gone away, gotten worse, or gotten better. They do not itch.

I'm going to take a pic I think and post it.

The only thing is...they are near where I have other white stretch marks. Maybe you can tell in the pic. The white ones aren't really obvious unless I pull on the skin like I did to take the picture. I don't know what to think, but I was shocked to see what the bartonella rashes looked like! Mine are slightly raised and do look "stretched" sort of...lol maybe I'm looking for an excuse for stretch marks.

did you show them to your dr.?

no...i just now found out what the bart rash looked like tonight

Mine look like yours but they are wider. I wonder if what I have is a bart rash or old stratchmarks? Does the bart make the old stratchmarks you have not heal? I have purple looking ones too.

maybe you saw my post yesterday, i dunno, but i have lines on me and i also have a red splotches under my chest that almost wrap around to the back.. that rash in only visible though, if i'm moving around, when i lay or sit, it goes away.. and the cat scratch marks have to be bart, Igenex comes back next week, so we will see

Your marks do look like what I have.

I tested negative for bart but have been treated for it since September. Definately improving since treatment. Don't trust the test! There are many strains of bartonella and I think they only test for one.
And it is a B--Tch to get rid of.

Even the Igenex test isn't accurate? You'd think for $300 it would be.

It is not that the test not accurate, it is that they only can test for one or 2 strains, and there are many many strains of babesia.

I had the igenex test and it came up negative. Yet I had and have many symptoms of bartonella. Especially the bottom of the foot pain, bart, the classic rash, veins and more.

I've had (very rarely) burning in both of my feet...my left foot is burning a little bit right now...these are bart things right?
