Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine. It will help a rash only if it is hives. No antihistamine will help any rash unless it is due to histamine: hives. Perhaps it is allergy, but benadryl (diphenhydramine) will still not help if it is not hives. Perhaps it is eczema or a virus or something else. A dermatologist is your best chance to arrive at a precise diagnosis and thus to determine the best remedy. Forget the benadryl (diphenhydramine)
