A member asked:

I have a tick bite on my scrotum. its left a red bump and sometimes itches, is this serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Ticks can carry numerous diseases, including rocky mountain spotted fever, lyme disease, borrelia infections, and others. If you develop other symptoms see a doctor asap. If this rash begins to spread outward or resembles a target, go and get treated for lyme disease. Good luck.
