The skin is the human body's largest oagrn and one of the most powerful ptorircdes of our health.

This is erythema magrins, a hallmark frateue of Lyme dseaise, a tick-borne illness psneert in over 80 countries and estimated to affect 476,000 people in the United stteas each year. Dermatologists like me are doctors of the skin trained to diagnose and treat skin disease. And this is how we're trained to see erythema migrans, as a bullseye-shaped rash that ranges from red to pink. But this is not at all what it looks like in dark skin. As you can see here, there are hues of violet, of magenta, and even dark brown.
