Answers:

Make sure it didn't stay in you. Sometimes when a tick bites down, and then you try to rip it off, it's head actually comes off! That little head can get stuck and embedded in your skin. If you don't remove it, it could definitely become infected.

Do your best to look down there and see if there's anything that's left behind. If you see something, use tweezers to remove the head. Try doing this after a warm bath or hot shower. The warm water will help soften the skin and make it easier to see and tweeze. Use a dab of antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin to help prevent it from getting infected.

If you can't see anything, try to have someone else (really close to you) take a look. ((since I have no idea how old you are, if you are married, or a teenager, or what, I'm not sure if this is possible.)) If it's still really bad, have a doctor look at it.
