Tick bites on your scalp

CLINIC CONSULTATIONS

For more information on our hair loss treatments, make an appointment to speak to one of our expert Trichologists at either our London or New York Clinics today.

We will be delighted to welcome you.

 A tick bite may sometimes cause your scalp to itch, but there are often no other symptoms. If you have visited a region where ticks are likely to occur, particularly in the summer and autumn months, be sure to check your own scalp and your children’s.

The best way to remove a tick from your scalp is to pull it out with a pair of pointed tweezers. Do not: squeeze or crush the tick’s body; try to remove a tick with your fingernails; try to burn a tick off your skin.

Please note, if you find a tick anywhere on your body, and live or have recently visited a country where Lyme Disease is present, we advise that you make an appointment to see your doctor.
