Could The Red Spot On Temple Be Due To Lyme Disease?
What does the bite look like? I have a red spot on the left side of my temple ab out the size of a dime. Does not itch, but looks like a white spot in the middle. It is not a raised bump and I have had it for the last 3 days. Still looks the same after the 3 days. I am questioning Lyme Disease.

Hi.
As per your case history you red spot on temple, my treatment advice is -
1. It is too early to diagnose it as Lyme's disease.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist to rule out Lyme's disease.
Thanks.
