Had allergy with swollen lips & eyes 2 days ago. took benadryl (diphenhydramine) and a steroid shot. today having rash on torso and extremities. allergic to injection?

More info.: Large dose of steroid can cause acne. However the rash may also be just a part of the swollen lips and eyes process which returns when the level of steroid starts to fall off. I presume that you are on Benadryl (diphenhydramine).
