Hello,
Thanks for the query,

rickettsial infection is bacterial in origin.

It needs treatment with doxycycline.

Treatment continues for 3 to 4 weeks.

Upon completion of course chances of carry on decreases.

Let me know you have any other doubts.

Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis.
