What is the best way to treat seed tick bites that have blistered? currently using hydrocortisone cream.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tick Bite: Thoroughly cleanse the bite area with soap and water or a mild disinfectant. Observe the area for several days for development of a reaction to the bite, such as a rash or signs of infection. Apply first-aid antibiotic cream to the area. Application of an antibiotic to the area may help prevent a local infection but usually does not affect the chance of developing diseases transmitted by the tick.
