Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of a tick bite. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take tablet Avil if itching is there and apply a topical antibacterial ointment. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keep on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing them with anyone. You should avoid touching or picking spots. Maintain complete hygiene and keep the area little dry.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
