A member asked:
I developed a mild rash over my entire body after dying my hair. benadryl (diphenhydramine) is not helping. what should i do?

Rash: If the rash is not bothering you, just give it some time. If it is itchy try Zantac along with the Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and a skin moisturizer such as Cetaphil or Aveeno. Avoid the hair dye. All the best.
