My mom is 75 an and couple times a year she gets a red hot rash from her feet to her chest. It does not itch. she went to her physician years ago and he said to just take Benadryl when it happens. Trying to convince her to see a specialist. It really knocks her out. she had scarlett fever when she was young
Benadryl is an antihistamine, there are non drowsy anti histamines that she can use that would not cause drowsiness in most of the persons who use them.

Is It Safe To Take Benadryl For Red Rashes On Feet And Chest?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Benadryl is an antihistamine, there are non drowsy anti histamines that she can use that would not cause drowsiness in most of the persons who use them. Eg loratidine, cetirizine, fexofenadine If you are not comfortable then she should see a dermatologist when the lesions are present for a second opinion. I hope this helps
