GO SEE A DOCTOR!!

I'm not a doctor but... I think you may have lyme disease. If the rash you are describing is like a bulls eye.

Do you have any other symptoms? Pain, fever, anything? Lyme disease isn't serious as long as it's treated as soon as possible.

Lyme disease is contracted by tick bites, have you been outside a lot recently? Or do you have animals?

Hmmmm... check out these pictures, if you do have it you could have gotten it from your dog. Most people feel fluish though when they have it joint pains and stuff like that are common. But see your doctor because you could have an allergy or something like that too... perhaps your soap or a food?

What could cause a rash on the left side and the back of the neck,

jjb4060 · Jan 31, 2009, 09:05 PM

It sounds to me like you may have ringworm. Look it up because if it has no target in the middle that's what it is. I am currently getting rid of one. It grew to the size of a baseball within one month. This is very simple to get to go away. It is very itchy especially in the outer ring. They can also spread and grow more as it got on my other leg also. It is very contagious. The best thing I have heard for getting these to go away is to smother it in clear nail polish but I would talk to a doctor first.

Also... it can form as one or more and come in clusters. The common name for it is Tinea.

Sounds like ringworm to me, even before you mentioned you have a dog.

Just got rid of ringworm(really a fungus, not a worm, and is very common and contagious). I SAW A DOCTOR who diagnosed it and told me to buy `Lotrimin Ultra' cream over the counter.(has to be the ULTRA kind- cost about ten bucks.) you have to keep using it as directed for two weeks even if the rash goes away or it will come back. BUT you may have something more serious like Lyme disease and that can be deadly. See a doctor just to be safe and get it over with. If you don't, it will only get worse. Good luck!
