See doc: Ideally your PCP office, if not available an Urgent Care. They will take a look at the site, remove insect remnants from the wound that might cause inflammation. Based on appearance of the rash you might receive antibiotic therapy. This is Lyme season, you do not want to take chances. Make sure you have also a time range of how long the tick might have stayed embedded.
