Bit By A Tick, Burnt, Itchy. Will It Cure Itself ?
I think I got bit by a tick tonight while watering my garden..my grass is fairly high because our gardener is not cutting the grass as often as he should be..Anyways it burned and caused me some discomfort.. it also looked like a flea but couldn't really tell it was abit hard..It was under my shirt and when I put my my finger on it because it became itchy like it bit me it bit me hard...Just hoping it wasn't a tick bit.

Hi tick bite causing burnt itchy lesion can be cured as any insect bites.as tick acts as a carrier for several diseases.first they have to be ruled out.tick bite can be painful and itchy.use of atarax 25 mg at night.antibiotic twice daily and application of flutibact ointment can cure it.if it is not cured go for wysolone 20 mg tapered to 10 mg within one week
