Hi,

I got a tick bite a few months ago and there is still a small hard lump there that doesn't go away. Does anyone know is this normal/anything to be concerned about? I was tested for Lyme at the time and don't have it - I know it can emerge later on but I have no rashes or other symptoms. I am sure I got the whole tick out. The site of the bite doesn't seem infected or anything. Could it have become a cyst or something?

Thanks!
