Will Benadryl Help In Getting Rid Of The Rash In Neck, Knee And Upper Thigh?
Hi, I took plan b about a week and a half ago and 4 days ago I started my period (I am 2 weeks early) and developed a rash on my neck. Since then I have finished my period and the rash has spread down my neck, to the back of my knee and upper thigh. Should I just stick with Benadryl?

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would like to keep a possibility of drug reaction.
If i were your treating doctor i would have asked you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid like Mometasone twice daily over the affected areas/rash.
Benadryl is a short acting drug which needs to be taken 3-4 times a day+it is sedative, therefore it might reduce your alertness levels.
An oral antihistamine like Loratadine OR Fexofenadine once daily would help you with the itch part.
take care
regards
