UPDATE:
The gentleman came for a follow-up visit to my office. He is taking doxycycline as I prescribed, and now, the skin changes are in regression as seen in the picture, he is feeling only itch in the area of most prominent redness. He doesn't have any complaints. The laboratory work-up showed normal CBC and CRP. I advised continuation of therapy for 21 days under suspicion of first stage of Lyme disease.
