I found a sucker attached to my leg on Sunday. It was on me for about maybe a few hours. Today, Friday I still have a small red mark - not a rash but just a red dot mark.
I usally don't get a mark lasting that long..
Any feedback on how long is a typical amount of time for a bite mark to stay on the skin?
I am on doxy so pretty much covered for lyme but not co-infections at this point, though I am seeing a new LLMD next week cuz I think I may have a co. from one of my previous bites. Thanks! TG

My dual bite marks from a couple of weeks ago are still there. It's the allergic reaction from the tick saliva which contains anesthesia and anticoagulant.
I don't know how long they last, so far it's 2 weeks for me.
