When will this rash disappear?

I know it's the least of my problems but it's on my hand and very noticable and I work in front of the camera.

thanks

I know how you feel, but there is no exact time table for how long a bullseye rash will last. Mine was on my face so I can relate. It lasted 8 months, but 5 of those months I hadn't received treatment. It gradually went away with IV rocephin, but unfortunately it came back 2 weeks after the IV was discontinued.
At least the rash came back on the back of my neck this time......much easier to hide! Good luck...........I hope it goes away quickly!

lilylia make sure you get photos of your rash, this is very important. As was stated, there really is no telling how long it will last.

When I had the Rocky MT Spotted rash the longest it lasted was maybe two weeks. I have had it several times. I don't know if that rash will come and go or maybe I was getting reinfected over and over. I haven't had that rash since I moved from the southeast, so maybe it was due to re-infection. Whatever the reason, the rashes didn't last long for me. My father has had the Lyme bull's eye rash three times and it lasted for over a month each time.
