note

Red rashes or spots just around the bite in the first days are common, but do not necessarily signify lyme. Most bites have a small local reaction that subsides after a few days. I think it is highly misleading to state that erythema migrans may appear from day 1. 1-3 weeks is more correct. 193.173.252.180 (talk) 09:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi, My link to a picture of erythema migrans on dnobo.com was marked as spam, but I do not understand why. It seems as though an addition to the site of a classic image from a non-profit academic site with no advertisements would be reasonable. I reviewed the wikipedia spam pages but still do not understand; I would appreciate if someone could explain to me. Thanks.Threefats 03:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Time

How long do these rashes last? Might be good to include this information. --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 05:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this information would be helpful. Surely the rash doesn't cause a permanent post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation? Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 01:53, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Eytomology

The etymology needs to be included.Curb Chain (talk) 11:12, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Geographic tongue

The above condition is also sometimes termed "erythema migrans". I carried out a pubmed search with terms "Erythema migrans" and with with filters last 5 years and Review, and all of the 15 hits were about Lyme disease not this tongue disease. It is definitely a synonym, so I placed a hatenot on this page, but based on the above search I have tweaked the wording to say that erythema migrans more commonly refers to the Lyme disease skin lesion. Technically a bit of OR there, but whatever. Lesion (talk) 17:11, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've removed the tongue parts from the article text since this article deals with the skin condition as per the hatnote. Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:42, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained deletion of content by IP

"These practitioners suggest a condition they call "chronic Lyme" (resembling [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] or [[fibromyalgia]]) exists in the absence of evidence for ''Borrelia'' infection. Their proposed treatment of patients with months or years of antibiotics is opposed by the wider medical community's [[scientific consensus]], since these treatments are potentially dangerous, are not based on diagnoses with objective evidence, and have been shown in clinical trials to be ineffective even when evidence of infection is present.<ref>{{cite journal | author = Feder HM, Johnson BJB, O'Connell S, et al. | title = A Critical Appraisal of "Chronic Lyme Disease" | journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 357 | issue = 14 | pages = 1422–30 | doi = 10.1056/NEJMra072023 | year = 2007 | pmid = 17914043 }}</ref>"

Why was this deleted? Looks like it was taken out recently with no edit summary by an IP. It looked like it was sourced ... Lesion (talk) 17:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move from "Erythema chronicum migrans" to simply "Erythema migrans"

"Erythema migrans" is now the more commonly used term [1], and there's no reason to have the title more complicated than necessary. Mikael Häggström (talk) 11:37, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

migrans

Presumably migrans indicates movement of some sort, possibly expansion of the rash. If this is part of the distinction between erythema migrans and other target lesions such as erythema multiforme then perhaps it should be mentioned 16:03, 6 December 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.133.79.221 (talk)

Erythema chronicum migrans → Erythema migrans – Much more used term Ngrams and Pubmed Iztwoz (talk) 21:30, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support per my experience and evidence provided in proposal. --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:28, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The shorter name is much more common, even a Google hit will lean to it (~2.5 million hits to ~0.6 million). Chhandama (talk) 10:53, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The last picture is probably NOT erythema migrans; it shows changes from extravasation of blood which may result from any insect bite as an allergicv phenomenon and not as a consequence of borrelia infection.
