Poor sedrick. I have found a tick on my Holly before and it was a bit red afterwards. I also used the triple antibiotic ointment as I am always concerned about Lime disease or any other tick-borne diseases. It went away after a few days.
I would say that you did a great job taking it out and I think it's normal that it's a little irritated after the tick being attached to the skin but I would monitor it closely to make sure it doesn't become infected. I really hope it heals fast.
