Some lizards are poisonous and transmit venom when they bite people, so you need to know the specie of lizard that have bitten you. If it is a poisonous specie then you need to get the hospital quickly for treatment, normally the home remedy is to tie the area of the bite tightly to avoid the poison from spreading.

It is best to consult a doctor if being bitten by it. It will be dangerous if they are poisonous. It is rare to be fatal for humans.

Mostly lizards are not harmful but when it happens, keep calm, cover the part bitten, and seek medical attention for further medical assistance.

Though lizards are harmless to humans. However, there are certain groups of lizards that can kill a man, or at least make them ill, or just inflict them with mild pain. Some lizards are in fact venomous, and some are quite aggressive.

If a lizard bites, the wound should be cleaned properly and irrigated with antiseptic solution. 

There is no specific treatment for lizard bites. 

However, most lizards are not very dangerous. So no need to worry.

Wash the wound for 6 minutes with large amount of clean warm water, do not use rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or iodine which can harm the tissues and slow the healing rate

If bitten by a lizard, wash the wound with soap and water, apply antiseptic, and seek medical attention if there are signs of infection. Lizards are not venomous and rarely bite, so they are not at risk of being killed.

Poisonous snake or lizard bite. A bite from a poisonous (venomous) snake or lizard requires emergency care. If you have been bitten by a snake or lizard that you know or think might be poisonous, call 911 or other emergency services right away. Don't wait for symptoms to develop

If a lizard bite is at risk of being killed, the person who is bitten should seek medical attention. Lizards are potentially harmful to humans because they are social animals that share resources with others. If a bite is fatal, the lizard will be let go without being killed.
