Oh yea, lets see.... Ticks can go pretty deep in the skin. They can get in your hair and go pretty deep into your scalp, but not so deep to where you can't get it out. Good enough? That's about all I know. I'm not an expert. Haha. :)

Can a tick burrow under a humans skin?

Yes, they do, I had one today. I could only tell because, when I moved the skin just right, I could see something black in the ultra tiny hole. The area around the hole also looked dark (maybe the tick or blood) and was sore. A tick will go in only as far as its mouth-parts are long. That is, it doesn't go in very far. If you pull the tick off and see black, that is mouth-parts left in your skin.

Tick biting people in genital area?

They latch on and suck blood anywhere on skin. They don't just go away. You have to remove it and not leave the head. Are you sure it's a tick? It may be chiggers. They burrow under the skin in any warm moist area, including genital area and waistband area. Kill them with clear nail polish. It smothers them. They do not come out. I know, disgusting, but that's the way it is.
