I have red oval rash on the left side chest, hip, buttocks and thigh. Headache on left side with left earache. No fever at this time. Had a tick bite positive anitbody test for lyme disease. Did 21 days of doxycycoline treatment. Rash and headache came on 5 days after I finished the doxy treatment. Any idea what is causing this? Thank you
