Please help! I discovered a large red/round circle on my leg and want to make sure its not lyme.?

Question

I was out in my yard most of the morning weed whacking/mowing and what not...and came inside to take a shower and discovered a very large perfect circle on my thigh at least 2" in diameter, and I know its not ringworm because is not just a red ring, its a 2" red circle with a WHITE ring around it, the entire thing is swollen and extremely itchy and burns. Please help!

Answer 1

You need to see a docter to see if it's lyme, and it sounds like a  spider-bite to me

Answer 2

It very well may be ringworm. See a doctor.

Answer 3

I don't think it is lyme disease because the lyme disease rash doesn't itch.  Since yours itches it might be a fungal rash.

Answer 4

If it's a bulls-eye shaped red-white mark (sounds like it), then it's lyme disease caused by a tick bite. The site below has photos of what it looks like when bitten on the legs and thighs. Get some antibiotics; it's the first defense against the disease.
