answered question 6/16/2009 How Do I Remove A Ticks Head Under My Dogs Skin? Is The Tick Dead Since I Removed The Body? If The Head Is The Only Thing Under The Skin, Can She Still Get Sick? Help. Denise Pretty sure a hot match head will help your get it out. Light a match blow it out and immediately apply to tick head and you should be able to pull it right out. Worked for me at least when I was younger.
