The red ring doesn't always appear but antibiotics is the appropriate 
treatment.  Wiki says:
---------------------------------------------------
Antibiotics are the primary treatment for Lyme disease; the most 
appropriate antibiotic treatment depends upon the patient and the stage 
of the disease.  The antibiotics of choice are doxycycline  (in adults), 
amoxicillin (in children), erythromycin  (for pregnant women) and 
ceftriaxone, with treatment lasting 14 to 28 days.  Alternative choices 
are cefuroxime  and cefotaxime.  Treatment of pregnant women is similar, 
but tetracycline should not be used.
