Suggest Treatment For Tic Bite On The Legs

I removed a tick (not a tiny deer tic) from back of my leg last night ....no redness, just itching.....put alcohol on it and it seemed better.....then today, Sun., it was red around it - about 1/2-3/4 " and more itching.
Wondering what to do next.....put Emuaid on it and even tried honey. I'm very familiar with deer tics but have never had lyme.....this was a bigger tic and was hanging by one leg.
Thanks
