I got 10+ flea bites overnight and the itch is keeping me from sleeping. i've tried cortisone and benadryl (diphenhydramine) anti itch creams. nothing is helping :(?

First...: You should first get rid of the fleas so that this doesn't keep happening. Try using oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and also sarna may work.
