Can someone recommend a cream or something because my parents won’t take him to the vet! They can take my dog to the vet but not my bunny ._.
I always put a homemade recipe of baking soda and water mixed to a paste on my own bug bites but again I don't know if that will help. Just keep it away from your rabbits face don't want that in his eyes.
 
Also I want to give you advice on a rabbit vet. Don't just take your rabbit to a dog or cat vet, they don't know rabbits. There not educated on them in normal vet school although I think any vet who works on large farm animals may know enough to help. I had to do extensive research to find a vet in my state that was an "exotic animal vet" and she has raised rabbits and been vet trained about rabbits. Just giving her a physical exam she could feel her knee was broke and suggested surgery. She also knew we were on a budget and said if an X-ray showed her knee was still in alignment it could heal. Moral of the story the rabbit vet charged me $45 for a physical exam by local farm vet charged $100 each visit and did provide her medication for ear mites, urine burn, and the X-ray..it was just alot more securing for me to take her to a rabbit vet to get the answer on her knee. Look up www.therabbithousesociety.com they have a list of knowledgeable rabbit vets by state. Where I found mine at!! Great help there too
 
I have a vet I think it’s Lifetime Animal Care and they serve a variety of animals...
 
Are you still looking for suggestions for your rabbits run or pen area? I know you got some strong critism for your bunny being outside but alot of rabbits live outside including the American Cotton tail. My rabbits were purchased from a meat rabbit farm by my husband to breed for food originally. But once we named them and the kids loved them I couldn't let my husband do that. So he helped my build them a 10 foot by 10 foot pen on the ground under our 20 year old apple tree. If you live in the country and know what cattle panels are they worked great for the base fence 10 foot long my 5 foot high panels. Then we put a smaller grid like rabbit wire around the bottom part of the panels so the rabbits couldn't walk out of the panels. Even made a gate for us to enter and exit to feed them and pick my apples easier..lol they just have to come out when the apples start falling. I'll send you a link to my video...
 
Yes. He eats and drinks well. On monday I have school and after art class. *sigh* My dad could take him but he doesn’t know a thing about rabbits. His yearly appointment is in a month...
So he eats and drinks well, poops well, acts like normal just has a little red spot on his back that you now can't even find and don't know what it is but think that it could be flea. I'll tell you what. You better don't start trying various treatment before you can identify what the actual problem is, you can only make things worse. Just leave him be and watch if there's any change or he feels horribly uncomfortable, then take him to a vet, but I don't think there's any emergency. If my rabbit had some unclear spot, maybe it's just a scratch or allergic reaction or something and I'd see it's itchy I'd probably just clean the area with a damp cloth maybe with tea or clear water, if as you say he has this for a month maybe just tell your vet when you visit next time.

A small single red bump is not likely to be an emergency. Unless it progresses to something more than that small bump, chances are your bun is perfectly fine except for it causing some minor skin irritation. If you could get a good clear close up photo of it and post it, maybe we could give you a better idea of what it might be.
