Possible bite.: Insect bites, including tick bites, often have a bulls-eye appearance. The bites are often associated with infection, sometimes with lasting effects. A small puncture wound, as from a rose bush, could create a similar lesion. It's best to see a dermatologist or infectious disease specialist as soon as possible.
