A member asked:
I have a 13 wk old baby & she has some rashes on her legs & she is starting to scratch herself. is it okay to put on some benadryl (diphenhydramine) anti-itch cream?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rash infant: No I would not use the Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream as it can be absorbed by the baby 's skin. I would suggest using a fragrant free and perfume free lotion daily for what may be eczema. If no help get her examined.
