So I was trying to get rid of a couple fleas I found on my dog earlier and sometime after my chin kept itching. Decided to check on it and I got bit and now it looks irritated. I haven't been able to go out that much recently but I was wondering if any of you guys knew a way to treat it without it getting more irritated if I went out so people don't look at my face and see this big red blotch? I was just going to keep moistening that area with water while at home but I can't really do that when I'm out haha. Thanks!

I had used tea tree oil in mosquito and spider bites so far and had helped reducing the swelling and redness

I agree with tea tree oil its the best for bug bites. if not I suggest polysporin.

Ahh I use a thick Manuka honey mask which I'm sure you could also leave on as a spot treatment. I usually use Benadryl for bug bites but not on my face due to my sensitive skin. You could also try an oatmeal masks as well.

Oh boy. Fleas can be so difficult to get rid of. They get into everything from carpeting and sheets to pet's bedding. Kitty gave excellent suggestions. Hope they work out for you.
