Can a tick bite on the head cause hair loss?

I have a large bald spot on the back of my head just above my neck. I had a baby 6 1/2 months ago but the doc says that the hair loss is unrelated. My husband noticed a bump in the middle of the spot, so I thought maybe it was a bite of some sort. Can a tick bite cause hair loss or a rash?Can a tick bite on the head cause hair loss?
It might, expecially since there is a bump or a bite mark and the reaction would be to have hair loss. If there was no bite mark it would be called alopecia areata. No one knows what causes alopecia.Can a tick bite on the head cause hair loss?
You need to get treated for Lyme ASAP before it goes undetectable and chronic .. Lyme causes hair loss Do not wait. Tell your doctor you got bit by a tick with a bulls eye rash and hair loss till someone puts u on antibiotics fast.
eat well
