Bed bug bite
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like a bed bug bite and not tick bite.
Just apply an antibiotic cream like mupirocine twice daily for a week.
If you are sure that it's a tick bite then you can take a course of doxycycline for 15 days.
It is safe and effective.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
Welcome
