A member asked:
I have a lump on my leg and its redish almost blotchy like, there is a brown spot next to it, i'm not sure if its a mole or a deer tick, how do i tell?

See a DR: Best for you is a dermatologist. A deer tick is tiny and FEELS much different than a mole. If it is a tick you need to remove it and probably take a single dose of doxy or Minocycline 200mg.
