Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods that attach to human skin through oral devices
causing diverse initial cutaneous manifestations, and may also transmit serious
infectious diseases. In certain situations, the Health Teams (and especially
dermatologists) may face difficulties in identifying the lesions and associating
them to the parasites. To assist them in clinical diagnosis, we suggest a
classification of the skin manifestations in primary lesions, which occur by the
attachment the tick to the host (for toxicity and the anticoagulant substances in
the saliva and/or marked inflammation by the penetration and permanence of the
mouthparts) and secondary lesions that are manifestations of infections caused by
rickettsia, bacteria, protozoa and fungi inoculated by the ticks.
