What did you get bit by? You should most definitely stop itching, if you don't have itch cream, use aloe vera, if you don't have aloe vera, use warm honey, you'll get pretty sticky, I'd shower afterwards.

Shanae trust me, I tried to control myself into not scratching but its really hard. I'm not sure :/ maybe a spider? hopefully.. of maybe dog flea's?? I'll try all that

Try calamine lotion and pinetarsol, they work great for chickenpox so I guess they work for bites too, you can generally get it at supermarkets or drugstores
You could also try vinegar, it works for mosquito bites, not sure about flea bites though.
I hope I could help a bit, good luck!

With the pinetarsol, you put a bit into your bath and just soak in it. It has a VERY strong pine scent, but it helps.

I would take a warm bath and use peppermint/menthol scent body wash or soap. Geeesh just reading this makes me itch too. This is contagious. Lol.

Relax I've dealed with fleas before put rubbing alcohol on all itchy areas and take a bath.

Rubbing alcohol can dry your skin. Calming lotion or some sort is fine.

Do NOT put rubbing alcohol on your skin, it is extremely harsh.
so is lemon, toothpaste, mouthwash & baking soda.

Maybe you need to wash your bed sheets and spray your bed with bug spray or a bed bug powder to stop future bites

I would get a bed bug detector. Some people have them and not see them but if your waking up with bites everywhere... Are you getting any new bites throughout the day? Probably not Fleas then. Don't spray your bed with any bug spray unless it is approved for spraying on your bed.

I've been bitten by a spider, a brown recluse, and what you describe is not a spider bite. Sounds like either bed bugs or flea infestation. An oatmeal bath followed by application of aloe vera gel will soothe the itching.

This might sound weird but rub the inside of a banana peel on the bites lol old wives tale but always stops the itching.
