Question : I went on a country walk on Thursday and the next day I discovered a tick on my upper leg. I removed the tick completely but today there is a little red ring circling the bite but no other symptoms. We walked through woods and grass in South Gloucestershire. Please advise.
Brief Answer:
Please, upload an image of this rash for review!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this tick bite. Most tick bites do not cause any further disease beyond the local reaction rash that develops. However, some bites can cause rash suggestive of a particular disease. to make this difference, I will like to obtain an image for review. After reviewing, I will get back to you with personalized and helpful recommendations.

I hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience and promise to respond promptly. Until then, I wish you well.
