You need a doctor!: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will not do the trick!! You need to get yourself to a doctor asap. Blisters in the area reported imply something more serious like Stevens Johnson syndrome and you really shouf NOT be treating this yourself. Go to the ER or your own doctor. Don't waste time treating this yourself
