A member asked:
Any good over-the-counter medicine for red rashes on the body due to food, besides benadryl (diphenhydramine) or claritin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin Issues: Why would you think that your rashes are allergic in nature and you need an anti-histamine? Rashes can represent significant illness. I would need more information about the rash you are concerned about, but the best option is to be seen by your physician and to find out what your rash represents.
