2 weeks on doxy and is the bloody em back??

Probably all the die off. Going to get worse before it gets better. Getting a reaction from abx, while unpleasant, is a good sign.... so I hear. ;)

Hi sara2017 -

I don't think I ever had any rashes or lesions or any skin manifestation for 16+ yrs since being infected. It's POSSIBLE I had a bullseye rash right at the time of infection (on my back) but I was sick and delerious and don't remember for sure.

But once I started Lyme & Co tx, all sorts of weird rashes would pop up, hang around for weeks, sometimes months, fade and disappear, then show up somewhere else. It was crazy. I had 5 different types of rashes/lesions.

Now that I'm nearing the end of my abx tx I'm getting fewer and fewer of them.

I wouldn't worry that they mean anything or indicate your infection is worse or tx is not working. They evidence of your body trying to process the killing of the microbes and detoxing what it is killing. Our skin is our largest detox organ so the infection might work it's way out toward your skin and sometimes your immune system finds it there and reacts to it.

Try detox soaks!
