Hi,
Although it's rare, allergic reaction can happen when the body encounters bite from ticks. You can wash the region with a mild antiseptic solution like Savlon and take anti-histamine medication like Loratidine to overcome the same.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
