Whats the best treatment for flea bites?


My son returned from camp & he has flea bites all over his legs. They are itching him so bad that a few of them look infected. I took him to the doctors office & all they recomended was benadryl & neosporin which isnt helping. His cabin was ate up with fleas & before him & his other 3 room mates discovered the fleas they all had bites all over them.

I am a believer of aromatherapy treatments. Been applying the following techniques to my kids for insect bites and so far so good. However, it takes an effort from your son to stop scratching during the treatment.

Tea tree helps in anti inflammation while lavender and chamomile have soothing effects.

Try applying a combination of tea tree and lavender essential oil directly on the bites. Repeat every hour or as and when required. If there is inflammation, apply an ice-cold compress with a few drops of chamomile essential oil or lavender to sooth the itch.

An added treatment would be adding 8 to 10 drops of the above oil to the bathwater daily. Hope it helps.

Make sure all of his clothes that he took with him are washed. my cat had fleas before and it was horrible! It helped me a lot to have a warm shower or bath. Cortizone also helped a bit. Good luck!

Ask your pharmacist woman !! I think one oatmeal bath is named Aveeno. There must be others, but do it today.

First of all I would hire an attorney and sue the crap out of that camp, that's a health risk! I use Rhuligel, it works great for such things, read more here:
