Hi, I got a tick bite yesterday on the top of my head, Mom got the tick off of me but I have this bump on the top of my head with a scab, is this normal?

Thanks,
Bella

p.s., Mom is really really upset about this! Hey, I'm playing!

Yes, that's normal. Keep it clean and it should heal in a few days.

I hate ticks!!

That sounds pretty normal to us! Wick managed to get a few bites this past summer and they would always look a bit tender for a few days. Just be sure to keep it nice and clean for her. Those little bugs are so nasty!!

Hopefully you got it all out...did you see the head afterwards ? I always used to rub in Savlon Cream till it healed-they take a good while though.

Oh, poor baby! Jolly had one a few months ago. I FREAKED OUT! She had a bump with a scab on it, and the area around it was very pink. I put Triple Antibiotic ointment on it, but it too almost two weeks to heal. I HATE those little buggers!!!

Hugs,
Jeanie, Jolly & Hattie

Thanks everyone, I hate ticks!!! I freaked out, I'm a lot calmer now hearing that it's normal to have the bump and scab! She actually comes and lets me clean it!
