I understand that you should not pinch tick bites.  It pushes the poison into your blood stream.  There are several other diseases spread by ticks now so seeing your doctor is a good idea.

i pulled the tick out yesterday and this morning is when i started doing this never thought of it like that

Never fails I'm a tick magnet I think. Usually when I pull one off it leaves a bit red bump that itches like crazy sometimes for a few weeks. Still have a couple spots from tick bites last year that will randomly itch occasionally.

I'm sure ticks also carry bacteria, which now enters the bite site.  Could be a bacterial infection.

Ticks are very bad this year.  The winter was not cold enough to kill them off.  Be careful of fevers and flu like symptoms.

i have had a few do me like that or at least similar mine looked sorta like the spots with puss that fire ants make when they bite you >:( i always did as you have but i will put the 90% alcohol on the bites 5-6 times a day it burns like the  but i havent had any problems with any of them   if it hurts swells or the red gets very big around it go on to the doc and get it checked my brother has been pretty sick twice from tick bites once was tick fever and the other time was a bacterial infection caused by a tick bite >:(
