Does Benadryl Have A Steroid In It?

Does Benadryl have a steroid in it? My dog is having issues with hot spots & skin irritation that are itching. We have found out that he has a high sensitivity to steroids, it causes him to be incontinent & lose total control of his bladder. He was tested showing his pituitary gland is over active

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Benadryl is Diphenhydramine which is an antihistamine. It doesn't have steroid. This can be used of allergic conditions like itching or rashes in skin. It can cause drowsiness but is short acting.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
