Rash – ringworm or Lymes?

I removed a tick from my daughter (teenager) about a month ago. It was located on her toe. It blistered up and took a week to heal. Several days ago she developed an unusual round ring-like rash on the inner side of one of her breasts. We thought it might be ringworm since she had held someone’s pet rabbit. But she is starting to develop other small breakouts now too. A few raised, dry, red bumpy areas on her torso, neck and upper back. Since she hasn’t developed any other symptoms of Lymes Disease, what else could this be?
I’ve reseached the “bulls-eye” type rashes on Google, and yes, the rash on her breast looks very similar. But that wasn’t the area of the tick bite, so I’m confused.

well ring worm is the only rash that looks like a circle so take her to the doctor to get it checked out okay

Hey there. Sorry to hear about your daughter’s skin trouble. I’m going to offer an idea that may seem a bit out of the box: Check her Diet.
Number one, she may have food allergies. It’s very common that people are allergic to wheat, corn and soy products pretty much found in everything.
Second, I personally have a condition called Candida Albicans, which is an overgrowth of yeast (which is a fungus) in my system, and it gives me skin outbreaks similar to what you’ve described as basically the fungus is looking for a place to go and it likes the skin. It’s basically a fungal infection.
Back to her Diet: Candida Albicans THRIVES on a high sugar diet. Sweets, FRUIT (including juices) and a lot of vegetables such as carrots, peas and corn have high levels of natural sugars, which feed the yeast and help it grow and if left unchecked (like mine was), basically gravitate out of control, taking over the body and giving all sorts of symptoms from skin problems, to asthma symptoms, etc…
You can do research online, just Google: Candida Albicans. Or check Wikepedia, they have a good entry on the subject.
Or talk to a Homeopathic Doctor in your neighborhood about it. My doctor has helped me immensely by educating me and changing my diet.
I cut out fruit, juice, ALL SUGAR PRODUCTS and ADDED extra garlic and acidophilis (found in PLAIN yogurt). It’s has worked wonders… I also cut out wheat and dairy, and am slowly adding particular things back into my diet because I had allergies to them…
This also helps asthmatics too…
Best of Luck…
