The Evolution of a Tick Bite Lesion

Hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) use their mouthparts to cut through the epidermis and insert a barbed hypostome, leading to deep inflammation of local tissues.

description Hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) use their mouthparts to cut through the epidermis and insert a barbed hypostome, leading to deep inflammation of local tissues. Herein, we describe cutaneous lesion development resulting from a tick bite at seven time points over a 30-day period. This case highlights the fact that ticks may produce lasting cutaneous lesions, which may persist for at least 30 days, even without any obvious pathology or complications.
