Flea bites

2 replies

I’m wondering if anyone has any advice about flea bites. About 6 weeks ago I got a couple of flea bites on my ankle (occupational hazard). We noticed a handful of fleas at home so treated the house and got our cats checked out just in case it was them. My ankle is still itchy as hell. You can see one of the marks where I was bitten and occasionally I get some red marks by it. Antihistamines work, but the itching is back as soon as it wears off. Has anyone got any advice or tips for stopping the itching? Thanks!

Hydrocortisone cream, you can buy one specifically marketed for bites and stings on Amazon.

Thanks - have just checked and the cream I’ve been using is a hydrocortisone cream. It works well but the itching comes back so soon. I used it on a bee sting a few weeks back too and it was amazing.
