How can you reduce the appearance of flea bites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice & anti-histamine: Most flea bites are small, innocuous and not noticeable. Some people, though, react in a dramatic manner characterized by extreme itching, redness and swelling. This is known as papular urticaria. Treatment should include ice, anti-histamine and topical steroid.
