OTC Cream
A cream that contains cortisone or hydrocortisone would alleviate itching and inflammation in people with a tick bite. You would easily purchase a 1% hydrocortisone product in any pharmacy or drugstore. If necessary, consult your doctor to choose a suitable brand. Make sure to follow the directions on the package to apply properly. Most options tend to be mild and do not result in side effects when you use them for a short period. [4]
