Could Small Rash Around Chest Be A Lyme Disease?
Yes, I have a small (a little smaller than a dime) round rash on my chest. My friend says it could be Lyme Disease or ringworm.. I have had the same rash for years and it pops up on different parts of my body. What should I do? Should I get a blood test to get a definitive answer?

it could be localized because of so many reasons most common are viral exanthem and contact dermatitis to the clothes..viral exanthem in most cases goes by itself..and for contact dermatitis just avoid those particular material of clothes and use mild topical steroid ointment in t night and moisturiser in t morning if itching is there take antihistaminic tablet in t night
