Help! What bartonella rash look like?

 

I thought I had stretch marks from higher dose of steroids I was on in Feb, but now I am wondering if this is bartonella rash??

 

The rash has gotten worse every time I have been on zithromyacin, I don't know if this is just a coincidence.  It has just kept spreading since Feb and it doesn't seem to make sense that stretch marks would have continued spreading a month after going down on steroids?

 

How can I tell the difference in bartonella rash and stretch marks?

 

Does a bartonella rash Feel different than stretch marks (itch, hurt, feel irritated)?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've been searching for pictures myself and remembered running across those. I can't find an image for mine, but I guess there are over 40 different kinds.

 

They can itch. I had some on my back that itched and others on arms and legs never did.

 

Its very mystifying.

 

I'm curious why they form in the first place. I understand a lyme rash that forms at the tick bite site, but wonder why these form.
