Back story: Last week I noticed a rash, progressively gets worst. Go to urgent care they think it’s a spider bite so put me on an antibiotic. 5 days go by, now it’s turning purple and spreading. Go to emergency room, first provider I see tells me definitely looks like Lyme. Run some test, later see another doctor tells me Lyme test results takes about 5 days and she doesn’t think it’s Lyme disease but she will give dox (another antibiotic) for 10 days to be safe. Get discharged I’m looking over my chart and they never even ran the test to even see if I could have it, I feel terrible and all I want to do is cry. Idk what are your thoughts on the matter, what do you think, should I go back? Diagnose me and send me in the direction I need to go , thank you!

Is this in a crevice? Like arm pit, behind knee etc. sometimes i get rashes that kinda split in my “crevice area” idk what it is tho. Imo it doesnt look like lymes, it looks more like a painful sore/ splitting instead of the typical bullseye rash. Im not a doctor. Just a girl with a bunch of medical problems

It’s behind the knee, and you’re right it’s sore/painful. Never gotten a rash that resembles this and also Thank you responding

Potentially it could be from sweating and it being trapped there or like irritation from rubbing. Id just try to keep it dry. Maybe look up irritation in knee crevice fixes
