- This is the rash that is associated with early Lyme disease. It usually occurs 3 to 32 days after a tick bite. The rash will go away by itself, but since it is a sign of Lyme disease, it is an indication for antibiotic treatment. Lyme disease can be very severe, leading to arthritis and other disabilities.

- There is a gradual expansion of
redness around the site of the tick bite. The
advancing border is raised, warm, and red or bluish-red and
ringlike in appearance. The ring appears to grow
larger and can get quite large (up to 24 inches). The
rash burns in about 50% of those afflicted. Some people will develop more than one ringlike rash.
- The tick bite location may clear or form a blister or ulcer.
