I have been researching this question myself. According to a local vet and every internet source I can find, it is not possible for a tick to burrow under the skin. However, I actually saw otherwise.
We found a stray 5-month-old puppy who was covered in ticks. We took her to the vet and gave her Frontline. We picked well over 100 ticks off of her, alive and dead. She had lots of ticks in her armpits, but we also found some bumps. They were fairly large raised areas with a black circle in the middle. I questioned friends and family as to whether these could be ticks. I also called the vet. One of the techs told me that ticks would not be under the skin, so we just watched the areas to see what happened.
Five days later, we had gotten most of the dead ticks off of her. However, the bumps were still there and still the same. We finally decided to check them out. We squeezed the bumps, and they began to ooze a clear pus. As we kept squeezing, the black thing started to emerge. Once we could, we grabbed it with tweezers and pulled it out. It was, in fact, a dead tick. We found two others just like this.
There are other suspect areas, but we are continuing to monitor them.
I just returned from camping with the cub scouts in Virginia Beach. My son woke up Saturday morning with a new mole on his neck. When I looked closely at it, it was a tick, but only the back 1/3 was above the skin. The rest was visible as a dark area just under the skin. A nurse we were camping with looked at it and said "emergency room". We went to the hospital where it took two PA's and two nurses over half an hour to extract the tick using tweezers and hydrogen peroxide. They said the hydrogen peroxide was to make the tick back out as it would deprive him of oxygen once it started to foam. The only problem was that the tick mouth was so deeply embedded that the hydrogen peroxide couldn't get that deep. They ended up pulling it out in pieces. This was after they shot pain killer into the wound. He ended up with a tick sized wound on his neck. This was on Halloween morning and the tick was on Joey's neck near his jugular vein so this became known as the Vampire Tick Attack of North Landing Park.
