What Causes Recurring Swelling Of A Tick Bite Site?
my daughter had a tick stuck in her, I brought her to the doctors and they scraped it out, this was about 6 months ago. it goes through phases of swelling up and itching. is this normal? I know ive heard that itching is normal but why is it swelling up so bad? it looks almost like a big pimple.
Hi...I feel the tick is removed but the sting is still there in the local site of the bite. This is the reason why it is occasional causing local allergic and inflammatory response. I suggest you see you dermatologist regarding this and he or she will examine under magnifying glass and take it out if it is there. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
