Need help here. My son has a strange bite on his upper spine near the neck. It's a small red spot surrounded by white surrounded by a red ring. No swelling. I've never seen anything like it.

That sounds like a tick bite that has the characteristic signs of early infection of Lyme Disease. I'm not a doctor but I'd get the kid to the doctor. Hope that helps.

I agree. I had a tick bite back in '96 that looked the same and I came down with Lymes Disease.
I'd have a doctor check it out, and soon. Watch for high fever and flu symptoms.
I have a few friends that caught it as well. If it's treated early, with the right kind of anti-biotics, it's no big deal. Untreated, it can do some long term damage.

Characteristic bullseye of Lyme's disease. Early treatment saves a lot of trouble. Where are you?
