A member asked:

Tick latched to scrotum and pulled it out with tweezers. came out but left a bump cleaned it with iodine. is this normal, what should i do? help!!!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tick: The bite of a tick when removed can leave a small piece beneath the skin. This could get infected but what laso concerns me more is the risk of other diseases that ticks can transmit . You need to see your doctor asap
