Fleas... i have at least 30-50 bites and i believe they are getting infected because i itch in my sleep constantly how do i stop the infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below.: First, make sure they are flea bites....speak to/and or see your doctor for the proper diagnosis. Bed bugs can cause similar symptoms. In order to stop from getting them, you need to find the cause. For either, in order for them not to get infected, you should try taking an oral antihistamine for the itching. If you're on other medications, please ask your doctor first.
