What Do Lumps On The Legs And Arms Indicate?
I was bit by fleas, soon after I started getting these nodules on my legs, butt, arms and now stomach. I am seeing a Dermatologist and she has prescribed many lotions, the itching has minimized but I am still getting these nodules. I have been seen by my kidney, liver and diabetes doctors and are normal. I want to know when they are going to stop coming out?

Hello there,
thank you for posting your question on healthcare magic.
Your symptoms are quite suggestive of an allergic reaction. Although I doubt this is due to Benadryl as this drug is itself used to treat symptoms of allergy.Although if you are sleeping too much due to the sedative effects of Benadryl,it can cause puffy eyes and face which is not a reaction to allergy.
The itchy sore eyes, puffy eyes and face and the rash ate all symptoms of an allergic reaction probably to cold, or the airconditioning or even to allergens in the air.
I suggest you switch to another antihistamine like Cetrizine, one tablet before going to bed. Do not exceed the dose at any cost.Even though this is an over the counter drug, you should be careful as it can cause drowsiness but not as much as Benadryl.
This should help with your symptoms.
