Hi,

Erythema chronicum migrans can be a complication of Lyme disease. But, the rash requires thorough clinical examination to come to a diagnosis. I do not think that the rash could be a complication of Hemochromatosis. Chances of the rash being a complication of Lyme's disease are high. So, I advise you to visit your dermatologist for further management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
