There are many ways to soothe the irritation caused by fleas. You can use one of these methods:
Apply a non-greasy lotion such as baby, olive, coconut, or Vaseline to the affected areas. These oils work well because they contain essential fatty acids that moisturize the skin. Use a medicated shampoo or soap. Shampoo products containing permethrin (e.g., Advantage Multi Plus) kill fleas while leaving hair soft and manageable. Soap products containing benzyl benzoate (e.g., LavaBath) are effective against fleas without irritating the skin. Bathe your pet regularly with a mild shampoo. This helps keep the coat clean and healthy.
