A member asked:
What does a tick bite look like and what does it look like if its lyme disease and what are the symptoms got bit a month ago and spot still there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Appearance varies: A tick bite can be invisible after the tick detaches, or leave a red spot. When lyme is in the tick, often (but not always) a red rash spreads out in a circle (can be other shapes too) and is often clearing from the center outward. Called a "bull's eye" rash because of its appearance.
