Brief Answer:
small abscess

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
You may have had a bit of the mouth parts of the tick that stayed in your skin and it has formed a small abscess.
Since it has been there that long you may want to have your doctor take a look at it.
They may want to open it up and drain whatever is inside so that it does not get worse.
Please let me know if you have further questions
