Does benadryl (diphenhydramine) work for jock itch?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly: Benedryl is an antihistamine which helps itching associated with hypersensitivity reactions such as allergies, bug bites, etc. You may find some transient relief of itching caused by fungal infections, but the ultimate treatment would be that of cure (i.e. topical antifungal cream/powder/spray).

No: That has to be treat specially depending on the cause.
