Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this tick bite. I have reviewed the image and there is just no reason to be worried. I will suggest that you apply cortisone cream for itch relief and redness. Otherwise, there is no reason to be concerned about this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
