I used topical benadryl on my legs bc of a rash. then i took oral benadryl bc i forgot it said to not use both at the same time. is this bad?

Not that bad: Just be cautious, topical benadryl can still absorbed into your system, and you may have some side effects as drowsiness, dry mouth, etc.. so avoid driving at least for rest of the day if you feel any such symptoms, wish you wellness
