Hi!

Then my hands started itching and my face was bright red and all of my skin was bright red. My friend gave me a benedryl and things started calming down throughout dinner. What s up??

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic HCM. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
It seems to be due to some allergic reaction of the body to some allergen that may be a cologne, a food, an environmental pollutant, a chemical allergen you got exposed to accidentally.
But don't worry as such allergic reactions are reversible and if controlled the primary attack, and you got away from the causative agent there is no harm at large.
Take Loratadine anti allergic pill. To reduce inflammatory responses take Ibuprofen by mouth. Take a shower with Oatmeal milk and honey body wash only, no scented soaps for a while. Let me know if there are some unresolved issues regarding this issue.
