There's a brown spot on my stomach and I'm not really sure what it is. It doesn't really seem like most ticks I've found, but I'm thinking it may just be burried deep. =/ If it is a mole, I don't want to try to pull it off.

A tick should only have it's head stuck inside you then it swells from engorged blood.

Easiest way to find out is to put some rubbing alcohol on the spot and see if the tick tries to get away from it or falls off. Just put it on a cotten ball and hold it there for a minute.
If it's too deep to fall out or you still aren't sure what it is, then go to the doctor and have it checked.

Did you have a mole there before? If not, you may want to see a doctor soon. I don't think most ticks bury themselves that deep. So you might need to see a doctor anyway.

ticks will not embed themselves underneath your skin. they'll stay at the surface, use your a*ss like an all you can eat buffet and then go away. moles are usually smooth bumps with hairs in them occasionally. if you notice whatever it is on your stomach getting bigger, then chances are it's a tick and get some rubbing alcohol and tweezers ready. or if you're brave, get some wooden matches and burn them off.

Put one drop of rubbing alcohol on the top of it. If it's a tick, it'll unlatch and move. If it's a mole, it won't. (if it unlatches & moves, that's the time to pick it up with some toilet paper and flush it)
