yes it does, it is an antihistamine so it helps with all allergic reactions, you could also use hydrocortisone cream

Benadryl For Rash

Could be any number of things--allergies, mange, heat rash, etc. Make a vet appointment. I adopted a dog that had demodex mange, which is not contagious and took about a month or to to fix by bringing the dog in for a full body dip in some chemical bath once a week. I only bring this up because when I first brought him in about the fur and itching, the busy vet just assumed allergies and gave him a shot of cortisone. As it turns out, demodex mange and cortisone don't go well together, and his condition just got worse. I had to pay for the cortisone shot and that visit separately from the mange treatment. Unless the doctor is SURE, ask for a skin-scraping to be examined under the microscope to see what it could be. It's not very expensive as I recall. It's best to check it early. If it is mange, it can spread over her whole body. There is also a form of mange that IS contagious, but it is cured even easier than the demodex kind. Go to the vet as soon as they'll take you.

Its supposed to. But it has an affect on me that I don't like....my body itches when I've taken it in the past. Try not to take it too close to bedtime cuz if the same thing happens to you its gonna be like having bugs crawling all under your skin. YIKES
If there aren't any open sores, try some Mentholatum and then cover the affected areas over night. That stuff works wonders on dry cracked skin with socks and/or plastic gloves overnight the skin just comes out new - I believe its an old indian thing with eucalyptus...whatever the case may be try it cuz it works great for me. I try to stay away from the man-made pills (don't tell my doctors).

You can use a formula that is activate by Dermetagolist. Those lotions help you with skin rashes such as Aveeno. I use that all the time because it has the "oatmeal" forumla and can help you with your problems. My boyfriend's sister uses it cause she has skin problems also. Her doctor advised her to use it, and now her skin problems are over. Allow 2-3 weeks for the changes, and also try the Aveeno day and night facial cleanser. It works very well!

It does, but if you use Benadryl, use the cream OR the pill - do not use both; that will make things worse. Using both will cause a reaction worse than what you already have - most likely full body hives. Also, you can use a hypoallergenic moisturizer so the skin doesn't crack.

Benadryl should work for an allergic rash, if not, get some cortisone cream from the drug store. more info for your rash can be found on webmd.com

If you're talking about getting rid of the itching, yes it should. My daughter had the Chickenpox this year at age 14 and she itched really bad. The aveeno baths helped a lot but the benedryl helped even more.
Good luck!

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/AxWrX
