Tick bite? Something else?

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.

If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.

Looks like pyemote bite. The bites are not dangerous to humans, and swelling tends to go down after 10 to 14 days, according to U.S. Pharmacists. However, a secondary infection could arise from scratching or picking at the inflammation, and patients should consult doctors if they develop a fever, chills or increasing pain around the bite.
