The best option is to leave the current bites alone and get rid of the fleas - you will need to treat any mammalian or avian pets that you have as well as the entire house. A severe infestation may take several applications to clear out entirely.
If the bites are extremely irritating, or you have scratched them to the point of causing scabs or small infections in your skin, you should talk to your doctor about cortizone or other anti-inflammatory medications that can help you get through the healing process.

∙ 14y ago1. Clean the area. Use cold water and an antiseptic soap or lotion. Hot or warm water is generally discouraged as they may exacerbate the itching sensation. You may also use a cold patch on the flea bite in order to find relief from the itching . Use a washcloth to scrub the area, as this may remove other fleas in the area where you are bitten. Rub firmly but gently.
2. Don't scratch the affected area. Scratching may lead to the breaking of the skin, bleeding and even infections.
3. Apply topical solutions to relieve itching. Anti-itch creams are available on the market and they can help you in relieving the itching and inflammation. Choose one that has antihistamines or hydrocortisones. Contrary to what most people say, calamine lotion is largely ineffective in treating itchiness.
4. Take oral antihistamines for severe allergic reactions. If topical applications and lotions do not offer relief from itching, then take oral antihistamines such as Dimetapp or Chlortrimeton. Before doing so, consult your doctor first. You may have other conditions that will worsen if you take oral antihistamines.
