Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to hear that you found a tick and the area that you found the tick is now swelling and red. When you removed the tick it is possible the tick released some of its body juices into your skin. I would recommend using a small dose of hydrocortisone. If the area becomes more inflamed I recommend you seek medical attention.
