Healing of tick bite extremely slow. still painful. using bactraban. was bitten 4 weeks ago. have been on antibiotics for 15 days after bite.

Vague: Are you sure it was a tick? Did you remove it yourself? How? Where? "Healing slow" is not a description of anything. Exactly what is the appearance, size, pain, pus, blood, etc.? Exactly which "antibiotics"? Any other symptoms? See a Dr.
