What Causes Skin Rash On The Back?
I have this rash on my back which all the doctors are saying its from my heating pad. I haven t use the pad in 4 days and marks are still there. I have had Lyme disease 4 times since 97. We live in a deer protected area and surrounded by 5o + acres of protected woods. last time was 6-12-14 where my blood test indicated that I should take further testing as it was almost at the positive range. Can this be borriles, or western blot. Im sorry I do not have the money to proceed

Hi,
It may be erythema ab igne. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It may be due to long term exposure to heat. So, avoid the contact with hot pad. Apply alovera containing cream. Take tab vitamin C 1000 mg daily for the long time.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
