Key takeaways
What does this solid Lyme rash image show?
This image from a CDC Emerging Infectious Diseases case report documents erythema migrans on the neck without familiar central clearing.
Why does location matter?
A rash on the neck, scalp or back may be missed. Checking the whole body and recording change with dated photographs can help a clinician assess the history.
Many skin conditions resemble one another, so seek advice for an expanding rash or concerning illness after possible exposure.
