Hi thanks for asking question.
Here you have bitten by flea and having reaction against this bite.It might be allergic reaction.
Apply cold compress over that for fast healing and swelling reduction.
Wash and clean that bitten area properly.
Apply locally antihistaminic cream over it.
If that area filled with pus and seems to be infected then antibiotic cream has to be used.
Local application of lavender oil can be helpful.
Application of paste of baking soda made with water can be helpful.
Bromelain tablet are helpful for healing.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
