colleenrn Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 (Just posted this on PANDAS forum by mistake) I thought I had recently read a post on the Lyme forum about a scratch that looked like a dotted line. Over the years I have had that come and go, but never knew what it was and chalked it up to one of my children scratching me while nursing b/c the scratches always seem to be on my trunk. Since reading something about a dotted line scratch and TBI, I have been thinking about it, but just today I have two. Both on my trunk and they were not there yesterday. To my knowledge I have not been scratched. One 3 inch scratch that looks like a dotted line scratch (can't think of any other way to describe it) and one that is about one inch long. The long one actually itches a little bit. TIA for any info. Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf_mom Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Scratch like rash can be Bartonella. It can be transmitted congenitally. Anxiety would be a predominate symptom. I am just back from an appointment with our LLMD and we were discussing Bartonella while there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofgirls Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Colleen My daughter had lines that looked like scratch marks...they were not raised but somewhat dotted lines going in different directions. I took pictures of it and showed it to Dr. Jones. He said it looked like bartonella.
