Tick disease: Ticks can transmit many kinds of diseases. Lyme disease is one of these and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is another. Sometimes these diseases can be very serious. Skin rash, nerve problems, heart problems, arthritis, and many other problems can develop. It sounds like the bite has become infected and may need to be drained. He needs to see a doctor.
