Bumps On Palm And Feet, Oozing. Bitten By Tick. Cause?

Hi, I know that I have strep throat for 2 days now, which is why my scabs from pimples and such are oozing, but... These little bumps that look like unscratched tick bites are appearing on my palms and feet. They feel like tick bites on my feet but on my hands when I stretch them, it feels like the skin is about to tear. I cut one open to see if any liquid can be released but nothing came out and it sealed itself shut. I know I was bitten by a tick 3 days ago but haven't seen any symptoms of lyme disease. What is causing the bumps on my palms and feet?

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

Lyme disease will not start within 3 days of being bitten by a tick. Strep throat infection should not give rise to the "bumps" being described by you. It is very difficult to comment on the cause of the lesions without having a look at them. I suggest that the best course would be either to wait for a day or two or consult your doctor who shall guide you after examining the lesions.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you an early recovery.

Regards,
