Suggest Treatment For A Itchy Lump On The Armpit

I have removed a deer tick from under my arm and it has now developed a knot around where the tick was attached and itches terribly. Do I need to seek medical help for this. I have pulled off several ticks in the past with no side effects whatsoever. Thanks so much for your advice.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having allergic local reaction due to tick bite.
Take Benadryl or cetrizine medicine for 2-3 days.
Apply triple action cream locally.
Avoid perspiration.
Ok and take care.
