Bump swollen spot under tick bite? on dog

Anne Arundel,, MD(Zone 7b)

My German Shepard had an engorged tick on her head yesterday. The tick came off fine, but she had a pea-sized swollen bump on the spot. The whole tick came off. I put some human antibiotic on it yesterday and twice today so far. There's a small scabby spot. I rubbed on that with peroxide on a washcloth but it didn't open. I figure this isn't emergency level, but am I doing OK? or should I try to open it? or see the vet, no other symptoms. yet.
