HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It is apparent that it could be some hypersensitive reaction, could be of anything, you have been given Diphendihydraimne of course it is very good drug but in certain cases it does not give much good results, the long acting antihistamine would be drug of choice and the Levocetirizine would be a good drug try it 10 mg thrice a day, if does not give response then steroid is the only drugs remains but for that you need to discuss with your doctor have nice day.
