Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Tick bite which cause Lyme disease also gives such rash at bite site. French alps is an endemic site for this also. So better to rule out by showing your GP. In such case Doxycycline prophylaxis should be taken. Early doxycycline therapy is very helpful to get rid off this.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
