Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Are they itchy?

Any drainage or oozing?

Are they raised?

Where exactly on the right side are they?

Have you been bitten (bug bite)?

Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

At this time, it doesn't seem like you have any cause for alarm. I suggest keeping an eye on these spots. Watch to see if they continue to fade.

If they spread or become sore or break open, then call your doctor. In the meantime, watch for fever.

PS.....your profile states you live in Fredericksburg.....is that in NY, VA, TX, PA.....? It happens that Fredericksburg NEW YORK (Westchester County) has an EXTREMELY high rate of Lymes Disease.

Are you in an area with a high incidence of Lymes Disease? If so, do you know how to do a tick-check???
