Default Flea bite infection? Does it sound like I need a doctor?
I got bit by what I think was a flea 2 days ago. I was scratching it (Tried to stop myself but ended up doing it obliviously) and now it is showing all signs of infection it is red an inch around. It was hurting like HECK this morning when touched now it hurts without being and we've put triple antibiotic on it 3 times today. It's getting worse. It hurts SO SO bad! I can't even stand my pants touching it! Can these things turn into something dangerous? Should I see a doctor? Or will it just go away?

I don't want to go to bother my parents with a doctor visit if I don't have to.

DEFINITELY go see a doctor. You don't know if it was a flea. It could have been something else....a tick, a spider, etc.

Does the area infected look like a bullseye pattern at all?
