How long after a flea bites does it start to itch?

Depends on how fast your body react to it. If your immune system is good, it would be around 45 min (you shall know when you feel the pain!:))

Sometimes chronic hives are mis-diagnosed as flea bites. Have you actually seen any fleas?

A herpes outbreak starts with a tingling in the infected area. Actually, anywhere around the area can tingle and/or itch. Soon after (a few hours to a day) "pimple" like sores will appear. They will then "pop" and leave open sores. They can take 1-3 weeks to heal.

To see if you have fleas in your home, use one of those little inexpensive night lights that have like a low wattage bulb, plug it in an outlet near the floor, put a shallow pan (like a cake pan) on the floor under the light with water and a few drops of dish soap.  Do this at night. The fleas will be attracted to the light and jump to it and will fall into the pan and die. This will tell you if you have a flea issue and will also help to get rid of them if done on a regular basis. Good luck.

The itchiness is not caused directly by the mosquito's bite or the chemicals in the mosquito spit but by the body's immune response to them. Your immune system releases histamine, a protein involved in many allergic reactions, in order to fight off a foreign substance. The histamine causes swelling around the puncture wound as blood rushes to the affected area, and as a side effect makes you itch. \n\nWho knew?\nI prefer to squish them before they get a chance to bite me!

Rest, tylenol for the pain, benadry/caladry for the itching and dont scratch. It will leave big scars all over you. Good luck! Stay out of the sun, will make the breakout worse. Aveeno baths help also. I thought it was bad when I got them at the age of 12.

My scar was itchy and numb for about 1.5 years. Don't worry it will go away soon. Congratulations on your nine month old.

A spider bite can turn out to be very, very serious.  I got bit and it started doing what is happening to you and next thing you know I have a huge 6 inch red area around it, itchy and hot and painful (heat by the way is a sign of infection!) so don't ignore it as it can get into your bloodstream very quickly and make you extremely and even FATALLY ill.\n\nSo go to the doctor immediately.  You need antibiotics and a cream will help the itch.  DO NOT SCRATCH IT..you will only help it spread...do not pick at the bite if there is a scab you will only help spread the STAPH infection that is in there.  \n\nSpiders are venomous and their bit often contains the staph bacteria or the bacteria can find it's way in by you scratching the bite, especially since you tend to use your feet to do so if it's on your shin.  That is what happened to me and I had to wear an IV around the house for 6 days with a nurse coming to change it every day.  That is how serious it is.  Oral antibiotics were not potent enough.  I felt very weak and "odd" the whole time too.  My whole leg swelled from the knee down and all this happened within 3 days so do not wait.

The first sign is often a tingling feeling on the skin, itchiness or a stabbing pain. After several days, a rash appears beginning as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face. It then develops into small, fluid-filled blisters which begin to dry out and crust over within a few days. When the rash is at its peak, symptoms can range from mild itching to extreme and intense pain. The rash and pain usually disappear within three to five weeks.

I know this answer!!!  When you are scratching, let's say a misquito bite, you are scratching the surface of the bite, in which you cause an open wound to manifest.  Your scratching has actually caused your nerves to "forget" about the itch and they now focus on the pain that you have caused from making the open sore.  That is it.  All there is to it.  Really truely.

Calemine lotion or any other cool lotion.  Also try draping a wet cloth over the affected area, running cold water over it or rubbing with an ice-cube.  You must avoid scratching - hard to do but you'll likely scratch the bites until they bleed.  I'm suffereing with the same thing at the moment - just had a cool bath which has helped.

Continue to clean with alcohol and wear hypoallergenic ear posts until they heal.  Healing usually takes place in ten to 14 days.  After the soreness goes away they may itch.  This is normal and signals the healing process is continuing.

Get some lavender oil from your herbal/health food store.  It will stop the itching and it will heal it also.  It is not expensive plus it smells good.  If it looks infected, has red streaks coming from it soak it echinacea tea.  It is a blood purifier and will prevent blood poisoning. You didn't say what part of the body she got bit.  If she has lumps in the armpits or groin that could be an indication of blood poisoning.  If so, get her to a doctor quick.

i know this sounds a little strange but if you put toothpaste (make sure its a pasty kind) on any sort of bite it will prevent it from getting irritated by the air and such things and the itch will be away before you know it.  also try taking an aveeno oatmeal bath, its very soothing.
