Zenith Primary & Urgent Care provides same-day tick bite evaluation and Lyme disease care in Marlborough, MA. Walk in for help with an attached tick, a new rash, or symptoms after outdoor exposure.
Our clinicians can examine the bite, safely remove an attached tick, assess your risk for tick-borne illness, and recommend testing or treatment when appropriate. Not every tick bite requires antibiotics or a blood test.
Remove an attached tick promptly with fine-tipped tweezers; do not delay removal while waiting for a visit. If you cannot remove it safely, seek care. Contact us promptly after a potentially high-risk bite: preventive antibiotics may be considered within 72 hours after tick removal, depending on the exposure and whether the medication is appropriate for you.
If you experience symptoms such as fatigue, fever, swelling, or the distinctive circular rash associated with tick bites, it’s important to seek medical evaluation promptly. Waiting for a rash to appear may not be advisable, as it may not develop in every case.
Additional symptoms that may arise independently include:
If you suspect a tick-borne infection like Lyme Disease, consulting our Urgent Care Providers is wise. Our Marlborough Urgent Care welcomes walk-ins and prioritizes your health with prompt and professional care.
At Zenith Primary & Urgent Care, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for tick bites and related symptoms.
Our providers carefully examine the bite area and assess your risk for Lyme disease or other tick-borne infections. We will review your symptoms, recent outdoor exposure, and how long the tick may have been attached.
Improper tick removal may increase irritation or leave parts of the tick embedded in the skin. Our medical team can safely remove attached ticks and properly clean the affected area.
Testing depends on your symptoms, exposure, and how long it has been since the bite. Lyme blood tests look for antibodies, which can take several weeks to develop; an early negative result does not rule out infection. Your clinician will decide whether testing, treatment, or follow-up is appropriate and consider other tick-borne illnesses when indicated.
Some patients may benefit from preventive antibiotics after a high-risk tick bite. If Lyme disease or another infection is suspected, we can provide treatment plans and medications to help manage symptoms and reduce complications.
Rashes after tick bites can vary in appearance. Our providers evaluate bull’s-eye rashes, skin irritation, redness, and swelling to determine whether further treatment is needed.
You should consider visiting urgent care if:
Our goal is to provide prompt tick-bite assessment, appropriate treatment, and clear instructions about symptoms to watch for after your visit.
