It's too early to worry about lyme disease.
It's likely that the ticks head didn't come out with the tick. You may have an infection because if it but don't get too worked up about it yet just make an appointment with the doctor and let him or her check it out.

well, it is obviously infected, probably because pulling it off like that leaves the head embedded in the skin, never ever just pull off a tick. I generally cover the tick with a thick glob of Vaseline, it cannot breathe so it pulls out of your skin to get air, that is when you remove it.
Yes, go see your doc, he will need to remove the head.

I would get checked out by your DR. I would also watch for any fever, sore throat, or rash.
