About Junko
Expertise
I can answer most questions pertaining to teen health, thought I cannot give medical advice. I can explain medical terminology, describe medical conditions and hopefully help people understand what is going on with their bodies. If I don`t know an answer to a question, being a medical student, I can easily find out the answer since I have many resources I can refer to.

Experience
I am a 4th year medical student.

Question
Hey,

No i do not have a fever or any chills. I did have some burny pain in some of the bites in my legs and it got unbearable for a few minutes,but not anymore. Do you think it could be lyme disease? Actually the biggest bite looks like its lightening up in color a little bit. I do not know of any spiders biting me. Ive only been in my house. Not around woods or anything.

later


Answer
Hi Kevin,

It doesn't sound like Lyme disease so far, but again, I can't see your bites/rashes so it's hard to tell.  If you want to compare your bites/rashes to some of the rashes seen in Lyme disease, you can check out this website:  http://www.lyme.org/gallery/rashes.html
If your rashes look like the ones in these pictures or if you develop other symptoms, you should see a doctor.
