You won't see the legs when its that engorged. Yes, you can remove it with tweezers as close to the skin as possible. Do not twist pull straight out and follow with a dab of neosporin. I think it is a tick because you said he was scratching at it. Ticks carry a lot of diseases. I would want it removed as soon as possible. You could poke it with a sharp needle and see if it is a tick engorged with blood. A tick would be smooth and the best thing I can think of to describe it would be like a blister consistency just barely attached to the skin. |
