flea bite
Itchy pet souvenir
A flea bite is the small, itchy wound left by a flea feeding on blood.
Figuratively, a flea bite is something trivially small or insignificant—a minor irritation or negligible amount: The fine was a flea bite compared to their profits.
Don't worry about the scratch—it's just a flea bite.
