I have these flea bites or rashes or something on my skin!!?

I have these things on my body (on my chest and now appearing on my tummy). It gets worse when I itch (obviously), it actually kind of looks like popped blood vessels. (like how a hiccy would look) But they itch like crazy, mainly on my chest. I do have 2 dogs and I read a few things so I assumed they might be fleas. I am going to bathe body of my dogs tomorrow and give them the flea and tick collar, along with a liquid for them. I am washing my clothes in case there is anything in there.





If it is flea bites, how to I get rid of it?


If it is a rash, how do I stop it from itching and getting rid of it?


If you think it is something else, how do I get rid of it.. thanks

Unless you can see an abvious flea infestation on your dogs I doubt you have fleas. Generally fleas prefers to stay on animals, what with the fur and more coverage and warmth and all that, and humans being all bald and cold except for a few places aren't really ideal for fleas.





I'd say it's probably a rash. Have your dogs been outside lately and rolled in anything? If they have thick coats they could easily have gotten something on their coats and not have a reaction 'cause it didn't penetrate.





Try taking some benedryl. If that doesn't work I'd say to ask your doctor. But the flea and tick preventative won't hurt so feel free to try those too.
Reply:First check your dogs for fleas or flea dirt(poop). It's little black pieces of dirt looking stuff, put some on a piece of white paper or a white tissue. Put a drop of water on it, if it turns red, then it's flea dirt and they probably have fleas. Like mentioned, fleas generally start out on the legs and feet.





Otherwise, like mentioned above, I'd call a dr. you're probably having a reaction to something, or like someone said possibly the chicken pox. Benadryl works good, and calamine lotion or some kind of anti itch cream until you can get a hold of the dr. If you don't have any anti itch lotion, try taking a bath with some baking soda in the water. If you have any wheezing or trouble breathing, call 911-that's nothing to mess around with.





Also, stay away from the flea collars for the animals. They don't work, and some will actually burn the dogs neck and make the fur fall out. Happened to one of my mom's dogs. If you do have a flea problem, best thing to use is either Advantage or Frontline. Vets sell them(expensive), or you can buy it online at drs. foster and smith-they're the cheapest I've found.
Reply:I really dont think it is flea bites, because i use to get flea bites all the time and its almost like a insect bite but they do not spread, it sounds like a rash to me... maybe you are allergic to your dogs hair, or maybe it has absolutely nothing to do with your dogs at all, maybe it is the washing powder you use or the grass you have in your yard... if it gets worse go to the doctor and get prescription cream.. really stops the itching... or get in a bath with carb soda or calamine lotion.
Reply:An old fashioned recipe for bug bites:





Make a paste of cornstarch and lemon juice, and apply to the itchy area.





Three parts cornstarch to 1 part of lemon juice. You can use more or less juice if you need to. Wash the area and then apply the paste. This should help relieve the itch and heal the bites.





If this doesn't help then you may want to try some Benadryl over the counter allergy medicine and see if that helps or you can buy some Gold Bond Powder or cream or aloe vera lotion or gel. Some aloe vera gels have lidacane in them. Especially if you buy them from Walgreen Drug Store.
Reply:I don't know...I just want to say do NOT put a flea/tick collar on your dogs. They can be poisonous to dogs and cause lots of problems. Frontline or Advantage, along with treating their environment(house, yard, bedding, etc) should do just fine if there are fleas.
Reply:uhmmm, have you ever had chicken pox? they begin on your upper body (chest) and progressively spread down towards your feet and you will itch like a mad woman in poison ivy...





the dr. can give you an antiviral for it, whereas years ago, we just had to suffer...





fleas generally start biting the lower legs....first....





you know what? hives sometimes look like popped blood vessels, and they itch like mad, too, and they can be from just about anything, something you ate, touched, washed your clothes in, etc. TRY taking a benedryl (antihistimine) and see if that helps clear it up... the worst thing it will do is make you a little sleepy, otherwise you might get some relief....
Reply:i think what u have is called single. its a germ that dameges ur nerves. to get rid of it, the best ways wold be to see a docter, OR take ACUPUNCTURE. but thats only a MAYBE. u might not have single, and only have a rash, but i mostly think it is single
Reply:It sounds more like you are allergic to something.. Soap from the laundry, etc.. Usually when fleas attack, they go for your ankles..
Reply:If it is spreading and looks as you depict it to, then it is most likely not flea bites, however still do what you were going to do. Try any anti-ich cream from a drugstore which might also help you. If it spreads through or gettins any worse you should go see a Dr. it could be some type of rash which needs medical cream.
Reply:it is most likely flea bites (I had them all over my legs once). You have to bleach all of your bedding once a week to keep the fleas off of you at night and get Frontline for your dogs. The flea bites will take a while to heal up but they will go away completely don't worry.
Reply:It might be Mange. Sarcoptic is transferable to humans but treatable. Go see your Vet.
Reply:lol im stupid! Maybe your allergic to dogs?? rofl im pretty sure the itching will go away or you can put some cream on it.
