There are several types of small ticks, including deer ticks, dog ticks, and lone star ticks. They can be identified by their size, color, and markings. Deer ticks are small and reddish-brown, dog ticks are larger and brown with white markings, and lone star ticks have a white spot on their back. It's important to be cautious around ticks and seek medical attention if you suspect a bite.
If they are VERY tiny, they might be chiggers. A young tick is about the size of a pinhead, so they could be young ticks instead of chiggers. You might want to talk to your child's pediatrician about the possibility of Lyme disease.
