My 4 year old son was bit by a tick(in his scalp) in Southampton, NY, about 2 1/2 weeks ago. We removed the tick right away and cleaned sight wth soap and water. He now has a red rash that is slightly swollen on one of his feet with a slight temperature. Could this be related and do I need to seek treatment?
Hi, As you son in having a slight temperature, it is better to consult a doctor. The rash could be a superficial skin infection or an allergic rash. I request you to consult your Dermatologist for further management. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
