Every time I physically over do it,and when I am at rest,I get what seems to be an intense type of a bite.Now this happens all over my body and kinda all at once.So when I look at these bites they are raised red circles with an oblong scab on top and when I remove this scab it is hard and thin and really not like a scab at all.It is very strange.But the raised red circle is still there and what appears to be shedding skin around it.Also the red circles stay for at least one week,then they fade into a scar.This is really what's going on and I hope someone may know what it is.

Hmm doesn't sound like a herx but more of a blockage of a detox pathway

I had a lot of skin issues before I started treating for lyme, cellulitis, skin infections etc. I think a lot of us are prone to different issues. My scars from issues like this or insect bites that turned into scars (when they shouldn't have) all went away, it took about 12-15 months though.

Just try to be extra nice to your skin! Use gentle soap, and eat good fats - that will help build your skin back up. Over time with treatment that will help too!

THANKS Beth,makes sense.I have been researching Lyme lesions starting back in 99 the xxx reported Vascular lesions in children and adults.In 06 they reported these lesions to be BAcIllary angiomatosis.That could have a connection with Carrions' disease.But who knows,this could be a bunch of not really knowing.I am going to keep researching,and will post what info I find.
