If there is a "bulls-eye" around any of the bite you need treatment at an emergency room, rather than a "doctor's appointment". Ticks do not necessarily carry lyme disease. The fact you were sick may or may not be attributed to a Lyme disease infection. It is consistent with such an infection, but not definitive. Lyme disease may be sucessfully treated if antibiotics are give as soon as possible after the infection. Do a "google" search of images to see what a Lyme disease tick bite looks like. The "Bull's-eye" is quite definitive.
