Answers:
The site of a bite from a tick carrying Lyme Disease (the most common tick-born disease) resembles a "bulls eye." Other symptoms may be flu-like and include chills, fever, fatigue, and headache. It is very likely that the tick is no longer visible, or has transmitted the disease and fallen off. It is important that you see a doctor as soon as possible to get tests done. If the disease is caught early there is a good chance it can be cured, however with late diagnosis the treatment can be more difficult. The treatment is normally antibiotics that can last up to a month. The treatment for late diagnosis is IV antibiotics.
It is important to be seen by a doctor if you have the "bulls eye" rash and/or the common symptoms of Lyme Disease. There are, however, more diseases that ticks can give humans, but Lyme Disease is the most common.

It could definitely be a tick bite. I got one on my foot several years ago. I saw my doctor and he ended up putting me on antibiotics because he was afraid that I could contract lime disease.

Clean it with soap and water and see your doctor.

That sounds like a deer tick bite. Those ticks are the size of a pinhead, so you might not see it or it could have happened a day or so ago. They are carriers of lyme disease, so I would see a doctor immediately.

A tick will appear as a small black bump. You don't see it because its mouthparts are buried underneath your skin.

That is, if it is a tick.

Cover it with nail polish. It will suffocate. I think. You may wanna look it up. Try Wikipedia.

Get a lyme disease shot NOW! It can ruin the reat of your life!!

if there is a circular ring around the opening, you need to get yourself to the doctor, the circle is a sign that you might have lime disease.
