What does your skin look like after you remove a tick that has been attached?

The fact that you heard a "pop" suggests that the tick was engorged and my guess is the "rash" you have is from scratching your head before you found the tic.\n\nOr it is the result of the toxin released by the tick upon attachment which will pass soon.\nClean it with peroxide and watch it. There are many diseases that ticks carry and while the dog tick is pretty harmless any bite should not be ignored.\n\nI am a person who has been disbaled by Lyme disease. My advice is to be careful. Where there are dog ticks there are deer ticks.

from experience (with my husband) i would say no never had that problem  ...maybe if you gain so much weight then lost it really fast i would think that the skin would hang like the ones that get surgery but so far mine is intact...lol

It looks a little goofy, but it is a good idea to wear your pants tucked inside your socks.  I work in an environmental field, and have to deal with this on a regular basis.  If you want to use a bug spary as well, use one that has Deet in it.  Make sure though that you wash it off as soon as you can after putting it on.  Wear a hat, and tuck as much of your hair under it as possible.  Long sleeves are good for protection from ticks, as well as the sun. \nMost importantly, regularly check yourself and the people you are hiking with for ticks.  Have fun, and good hiking!

It's probably just a thickening of the skin.  It just happens.  I had the same thing, and I went to a specialist.  They took some scrapings and said it was basically nothing.

They generally don't disappear.  Unless of course you have a doctor remove them.  Usually they just shrink and quit causing you discomfort.

Smart lady--catch it put in jar--just in case--I do the same thing with wood ticks. I put them in jar with a little alcohol--my guess is it's probably just an albino or a young one--not sure what say beyond that--I'm not a doctor maybe try http://www.webMD.com or http://www.mayoclinic.com/ you could always call a local university and ask for an expert in the biology department. maybe Google "white mosquito" or "mosquito identification." Hope it's not serious. Try not to worry it's probably nothing. Good Luck :-)

the sad thing is ticks arent that big of a problem, weve just blown it up unrealistic proportions. lime disease is about as deadly as the common flu, and easier to spot. sure it makes life harder for a while and it needs to be treated but if you start to get a target shaped mark on your body head into the doctors. my friend had it and he's fine. and if your saying it was a baby because it was small and red, it probably was a deer tick (the most common carrier of the virus) but dont get worried

Tell us more. Do you know if you have been bitten by an insect? Is it red also I know it is difficult to see if in back but if you have a mirror maybe you could look. It could be a number of things but we need more information please.

No. \n\nBut it's still no good for it to be on your skin. Wash it off.

I've heard of this before from my girlfriend. Hers looked kind of like razor burn. When I asked her about it she told me it was because when you rip the hair out and the follicle bleeds it has to repair itself so she'll have the bumps for a couple of days after waxing. You may want to call up the place you had it done though and ask them if this is normal. You could be having a reaction to one of the ingredients in the wax or lotion or something else they used. If they say it is and it doesn't go away after a couple of days, I would consult another professional waxing place and/or a dermatologist. Good Luck

Depends which browser you use...\nFirefox: Tools > Options > Privacy > Saved Forms and take the tick out there.\n\nOr\n\n IE: (It might be but don't know for sure) Tools > Internet Options > Content > Auto Complete and remove all the ticks there.

This is just dead skin, as the friction you produce as you rub the skin, increases the amount of dead cells you are removing.\nCombine this with dirt and you get black stuff on your hands. \n\nDon't worry about it, it is very normal. Make sure you exfoliate twice a week. This will also encourage healthy skin growth and make your skin look healthy! Get your self a granular exfoliant, or an exfoliating glove and you'll be right!

Yes, itching is a side effect. Kinda cute, people think you have some sort of tick.

Infection usually occurs if the tick was attached for 36-48 hours.  It removed before that, there is far less chance of contracting Lyme Disease.  If you have contracted it, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to manifest symptoms.\n\nThe early symptoms are:\ncircular red skin rash\nFatigue or lack of energy (most common symptom) \nHeadache and stiff neck. \nFever and chills. \nMuscle and joint pain. \nSwollen lymph nodes\n\nFor more info:\nhttp://aolsvc.health.webmd.aol.com/hw/arthritis/hw77228.asp?src=AOLConditionWidget

you get a large bump on the skin at the site of injection. it should be checked by a doctor or nurse in 2-3 days. sometimes people get false positives if they ever had a vaccine for it, especially in othr countries

not all ticks cause lymes disease.  Deer ticks are the ones to be concerned with and they are so small you cant see them any way.  Wood ticks are big and cause no problems really.  (they can but rarely)  just remove with a tweezers and then put some anisepitic on.  watch carefully and you sould be fine.  if you are really concerened after removing the tick store it in a vile or something so if  you have to go to the hospital take the blood sucker with you so medical has some idea what they are working with.\n\nYou are not screwed cause one latches on.  I have had them on me and removed them from my kids and dog.  All are fine.\n\nhttp://www.lyme.org/ticks/tick.html\n\nlook at this website.  lots of helpful info.
