It's hard to say, do you have a magnifiying glass? The thing that concerns me is it looks like a circle is forming around the spot, which can be serious.

Here's what it says on removing a tick.

How to remove a tick:

1. Use fine-tipped tweezers and protect your fingers with a tissue, paper towel, or latex gloves. Avoid removing ticks with your bare hands.

2. Grasp the tick as close to the skin surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don't twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.

3. After removing the tick, thoroughly disinfect the bite and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.


If you do it slow and steady, you don't risk the harm of pulling off mole.
