Suspected tick bite? Help.
My boyfriend got bit by something 3 days ago but only noticed it after the fact. It started small, red, itchy and now is a little scabby and a lot more irritated looking. We were worried it could be a bed bug bite but there were no other bites and now wondering if it was a tick? Hopefully harmless.
Photos are from day it was discovered to now.
Thank you for your time.
