What Causes An Itchy Vesicular Rash Post Intake Of Antibiotics For Lyme Disease?
Recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. Just finished 21 day doxycycline treatment. Bullseye rash has faded but now I have a vesicular rash that is fading to brown. Very itchy. Is this a symptom or a reaction to the antibiotics? It follows the shingles pattern (diagonal from torso to groin on left side, and wrapped around torso under arm on right) but is not painful
