Tick removal steps ....
Use pointed tweezers.
Slide under body and close to HEAD of tick. Squeezing it's body can force the bacteria from it's belly back into you.
Get as close to skin as possible.
Squeeze tight.
Pull straight up.
Flush tick down toilet or tightly wrap tape around the tick and dispose. If you want to save the tick place it in a baggie w/moist cotton ball.
You can see the skin still in it's grasp.
The bite mark is center of picture.
Circle it with a pen and watch for progression in the next week.
