Visit our office immediately for removal if you have been or suspect you have been bitten by a tick. A bullseye rash is a common early sign of Lyme disease, caused by the bite of an infected black-legged tick. While not all Lyme disease cases feature this rash, and it can vary in appearance, the bullseye rash is characterized by a circular, expanding red area, often with a central clearing that resembles a target or bullseye. A patient with a tick bite and rash that presents with a bullseye shape will be treated with a 10-14 day prescription of an oral antibiotic, such as doxycycline. A tick bite without the bullseye rash may be given a single dose of doxycycline, which can significantly reduce the risk of Lyme disease. This treatment does not guarantee Lyme disease prevention, as the patient should continue to monitor for symptoms such as the bullseye rash; however, early intervention is important and this treatment may minimize the likelihood of Lyme disease.

And just like that, summer is winding down and the kids are going back to school! We hope your families have a great school year and stay healthy, because healthy students are better learners. At school it’s important to remind students to wash their hands before eating; after using the toilet; and after blowing their nose, coughing, or sneezing. Handwashing also helps keep students, their families, and school staff healthy so they don’t miss school or work.

Gardening, mowing and just pure playing in the woods brings rashes like poison ivy into our urgent cares every summer. Poison ivy rash is caused by an allergic reaction to an oily resin called urushiol (u-ROO-she-ol). This oily resin is in the leaves, stems and roots of poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac. If you suspect a rash has been caused by a poisonous plant, see us for treatment and relief.

📅 Today we honor Juneteenth — a day of freedom, reflection, and progress.

Seeking medical care outside of an office visit to a primary care physician invites a long-term side effect common to the patient experience in America: sticker shock.

In our haste to get immediate help for an injured or sick loved one, or for ourselves, cost isn’t always the first consideration. The major worry comes later with the arrival of a sometimes indecipherable and almost always eye-popping bill.

The decision to go to a hospital emergency room or an urgent care center likely depends on factors other than cost: convenience, time of day, seriousness of the problem and medical vulnerability of the sick or injured person.
