Suggest Treatment For Tick Bite
Brief Answer:
Tick bite
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you had a tick bite and that in the general area of the bite you have raised bumps. I do think these are related to the bite. It could be as simple as a small local cellulitis from the bite to possible rocky mounted spotted fever or Lyme disease. I would recommend to be on the side of safety that you see your medical provider and be tested for tick borne diseases. It is better to catch them early and treat then wait especially for Lyme disease.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
