Suggest Treatment For Rashes Throughout Body After A Tick Bite
June 20th spent day in South Carolina woods. Received one tick bite I m aware of. Tick removed fairly quickly, little to no evidence of blood meal. For the last 5-7 days, I ve been getting blisters in various parts of my body. Locations have been pubic pad, elbow, ankle, back, buttocks, web of thumb. These blisters are extremely itchy for 3-4 days. Bite site remains visible and slightly inflame, although no bulls eye pattern has been seen. Are the appearance of these itchy blister and tick bite related? Thanks - Scott

The symptoms you had mentioned are mostly suggestive of some fungal infection or allergic dermatitis. For treatment you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or doxycycline after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for severe itching. You can take fluconazole 150mg once daily for at-least 5 days or use candid-b powder or betnovate-c cream for local application.
