Suggest Treatment For Ticks

I removed a tick from my leg about 2 weeks ago. Even though I have treated the area with triple antibiotic cream, peroxide, and squeezing it often, it continues to itch a lot and also oozes clear liquid when I squeeze it. At first it was red and swollen, but now it mainly just itches. Any ideas ?

May be you have removed the ticks but its eggs remain there. That is why the clear fluid is oozing out.
