What does Lyme disease look like on the skin? Is the classic bull's-eye rash always present? In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray discusses the skin warning signs of Lyme disease, including erythema migrans, expanding rashes after tick bites, and other symptoms that should not be ignored.
Dr. Dray explains how Lyme disease is transmitted by infected black-legged ticks (deer ticks), why many people never realize they've been bitten, and how skin findings can be the first clue that an infection is developing. She reviews the different ways Lyme disease rashes can appear, including presentations that do not resemble the classic target or bull's-eye rash.
This video also covers early Lyme disease symptoms, when Lyme disease becomes more serious, proper tick removal techniques, and practical strategies to reduce the risk of tick bites while hiking, gardening, camping, and spending time outdoors.
