What Can You Put on Flea Bites on Humans?

If you are the victim of flea bites, there are a few over-the-counter topical medications that you can put on them to ease the itching and irritation.

Calamine lotion works well to reduce the itching, and a topical ointment of 1% Hydro-cortisone will reduce inflammation and rash caused by allergic reaction to the bite.

In addition, be sure to resist the urge to scratch the flea bites because this will surely lead to broken skin and bleeding, which can lead to risk of infection and scarring.

If the skin does become broken, is a good idea to clean the skin thoroughly with antibacterial soap and then cover with a bandage or Band-Aid. This also works well to keep the topical skin medication in place.
