Suggest Treatment For Tick Bite In Pubic Area
I had a tick bite on my pubic area near the panty line - at the same time I have been dealing with poison ivy on my arm and leg. I believe I may have poison ivy around the area of the tick bite. It itches some is a bit red, and it was swollen last night. I put hydrocortisone cream on it and also clear calamine lotion. the swelling has went down, but I am wondering if there is something else I should try. I do not want or feel seeing a doctor is necessary. How long do these rashes usually last? Maybe I am being too impatient on results?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the tick bite. I suggest to use only Calamine lotion. There is nothing else that you can do. The rash will go away gradually in a few days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
