The alcohol trick works for removal, but you can't just pour it on. Get a cotton ball and pour some alcohol on that, then press it against the tick cutting off it's air supply. The tick should back out on it's own. THEN burn it with a match. Why burn it? Because ticks have such thin compressed bodies that trying to smash it will only leave it alive and you frustrated. I believe I heard the alcohol trick works because ticks breathe through their legs, sounds strange but I've heard stranger. Any scar left behind should clear up in a shed or two. In the meantime, apply bacitracin once a day.
Good Luck
