What Are Spreading Rashes On Upper Thighs And Arms Suggestive Of?
I have what appears to be a rash on my upper thigh and two small areas on my arms. When I woke up the other day I had what appeared to some kind of a bite on my thigh and a bite on each of my arms. Since then the area on my thigh has grown and now appears to be rash and has spread now covering an area about 4 inches and sort of in a semi-circle.

Hello,
* The narrated rash with round semi-circle may be part of Lyme`s disease when there is a strong history of bug bite.
Kindly present with your family doc for further guidelines of therapy which will involve antihistamine, antibiotic as doxycycline and supportive care to cure at earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
