TICK BITE: If you have a tick bite, it is very important to remove the tick as quickly as possible. If it's very itchy and painful wash the area with soap and warm water. See a doctor as quickly as possible. Depending on the kind of tick, it could be quite serious. Some ticks cause lyme disease; other can cause a serious malady called rocky mountain spotted fever.

See below: If itchy, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Hydrocortisone but if a rash is developing or other symptoms like fever, headaches, muscle or joint aches, chills, malaise, nausea or vomiting, then get seen by a physician asap.
