My cat had horrible fleas. He doesnt have them anymore..we got rid of them. but they still linger in our house. for about a month or 2/.... everyone has been gathering bites around their ankles and legs. i mean ALOT. im 13 and its getting close to summer time...i dont wanna go out with all these dark spots around my ankles! it is hard to get rid of the fleas because after u kill them there is still flea eggs that hatch uncontrollably.
i have so many dark spots on my feet and my ankles...and i have a whole bunch of bites. they bites wont go away! please help me. it takes for ever like a month for them to go away.
5minutes ago i just found more fleas...that gave me a new bite on my leg...their dead now. but there is still more.
i dont wanna kno how to get rid of them...but how to get rid of the bites and dark spots.

My goodness, I thought I was the only one they effected this way. I have hardwood floors in my house because of this. You will either have to put off flea bombs or use flea spray for you carpets. Try to contain the cat to one room for a few days and watch carefully he isn't reinfested. As for your legs, here is what I do. I take showers, but let the plug in so the tub fills with water. I add some bleach. Now this might sound bad, but it is chorine, the same as pool additives. Ever notice when you swim every day, you don't get bit as much. After my shower, I take a q-tip and apply listerine, it's antiseptic and helps stop the itching. After a few days and when they start drying, I use cocoa butter for stretch marks, not the lotion, but where it's actually the concentrated type, on my legs and ankles. Can't happen over night, but you'll soon start seeing a difference. Now if you have used everything you can think of to stop the itching as this is what really leaves the marks--and it hasn't worked... After applying the listerine and the area is wet, I use my finger to apply baking soda. It will burn like crap, but it dries the bite over night. That has been the only thing I have ever found to stop itching. Sorry, but I have used everything on the market and been to the doctor.....nothing else helped. I mostly where white ankle socks in the summer to cover up the bites until they heal. It was that bad. I am now 47, the itching was driving me crazy. If there are any other treatments, I wish I knew and tea tree oil didn't even help. Good luck

Go see a doctor. Maybe they can give you a prescription to get rid of the dark spots?
