How do you make a flea bite stop itching?

I also have flea bites, to make them stop itching you can rub the area with water and then apply soap to it. Afterwards remember to wash the whole entire area that you applied soap with. If you don't the skin will dry. Another way is the rub the area with water and rub salt into it. Just rub it around the area or bite. Or you can just get a bowl of water and put a lot of salt in it, mix it around, then dab a cotton ball, paper towel, etc. into it, then rub into bite.
