A member asked:

I have a tick's head stuck under my skin. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tick's Head in Skin: Use the sterilized tip of the needle to carefully fish the tick head away from your skin. Insert the needle into the first or second layers of your skin just beside the tick's head, no through the head. Think of it as removing a splinter, and try to get the needle "hooked" under the head or mouth parts to pull them out. If that does not work visit you local dermatologist to have the head removed.
