Tick bite or other?

My daughter has three of these bites on her legs. Not sure sure if it's just an allergic reaction or tick bites?
You can see the bite mark but there's a huge red circle around it.
So I'm not sure what to do. They came up yesterday. Thanks

That's how I react to insect bites.
Have you tried antihistamine and/or antihistamine cream?

Thank you. Yes I have given her antihistamines and savlon as she's quite itchy.

Tick bites aren't normally itchy

That's interesting to know. Thanks.

My tick bites are insanely itchy - but I agree, that does not look like a worrying tick bite

Here's another photo. One bite isn't in the centre where as the other is bang smack in the middle.
Feels warm to touch.
