Hi,

Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia infection. The treatment involves taking antibiotics. Please do complete the course of antibiotic as prescribed by your Doctor and follow your doctor.

If the rash still persists, you may need an additional dose of antibiotics as per your Dermatologist's advice.
