Get him a flea collar.

You can pick one up at Wal-Mart for a good price.


Make sure that it actually is fleas, though. Bald spots on animals can also indicate ringworm. It is contagious even in humans.


Go with the flea collar and see if that helps. If it doesn't, you will have to go to the vet and get him tested.


You did say you found a flea there so that is good (I mean compared to him having ringworm)


I would honestly suggest you keep your cat indoors. They are less likely to get any illness or fleas and bring it inside. I have two cats that don't go outside. Indoor cats also live longer. I mean, yeah, have a window area or something where your cat can look outside and feel a breeze, but the outdoors just brings about trouble.


You should also brush your cat to get rid of any other fleas that are hiding in his fur.


You have to be careful with a flea collar, though. Sometimes, the medication is too strong and causes a reaction so just watch your cat at first to make sure he is okay with it.
