No answer: You left out the information needed to answer. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may help if you have hives. If you do, there are much better antihistamines. If you want a sleeping pill, use Benadryl (diphenhydramine). DO NOT TAKE BENADRYL (diphenhydramine) IF YOU DRIVE. It is dangerous to be sleepy and drive. If you have a rash, not hives, no antihistamine will make the slightest difference.
