Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Uncomplicated flea bites can be treated by applying creams containing calamine and over the counter hydrocortisone skin ointments.

Flea bites cause varied reaction in different individuals. In some people, it may cause no skin changes at all while in rest there can be intense itching, swelling and redness. If you scratch the area, small blisters can develop which get infected and result in small wounds and may cause marks on the skin.

In the first aid of flea bites, it is suggested to wash the bite with an antiseptic soap to prevent infection and then place ice on the area to reduce swelling and itchiness. Calamine lotion, over-the-counter hydrocortisone or other creams with soothing properties can be applied to reduce itchiness.

If you have rashes spreading to other areas then it can be an allergic reaction due to flea bites. In that situation you must take Benadryl and then contact your doctor immediately.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
