What Causes Red Bruise On The Area Of Tick S Bite?
Hi... I live in the woods and have a tick bite that looks a little different. The tick was removed 24 hours ago but the red circle that usually goes away by now is actually getting bigger. The whole tick was intact. Do I need to watch for other symptoms or is this fairly normal? Thanks, Zen

Hi,
It seems that there is local allergic reaction due to poisonous bite.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 1-2 days.
Apply calamine lotion on the part.
Ok and take care.
