Tick bite and rash in a separate area?

Hi, I posted yesterday and I'm a health anxiety sufferer.

I posted a picture yesterday of a rash on my foot. It had appeared in the same place as it did a few weeks ago on my right foot

Tonight I found a tick on my left leg, I have removed the tick (successfully I hope) from my left leg. Could the rash on my right foot be in any way connected to the tick?

Sorry if that's a ridiculously stupid question.

Thanks.

A tick bite rash associated with Lyme disease is a bullseye rash, it's very distinctive.
I haven't clicked on the link, but iirc the rash on your photo doesn't look like a Lyme rash.

Sorry, I must seem like a right nut case for posting again. Of all the times for me to get a tick bite, it had to be while I'm having a major HA melt down.

Also the rash from the tick bite comes a few days after the tick 😀

I was wondering though if I may have not noticed the tick bite for a while as they are so small.

You can send the tick for testing for lyme...new forest i think? You aren't being silly...perfectly good concern.

Thanks for your reply. I have a dr's appointment today by chance anyway, I wonder if they'll prescribe a course of antibiotics as a precaution.
