Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.

I suggest you to continue using Benadryl.

I also recommend using Calamine lotion for local relief.

If the symptoms continue you should consult your doctor for prescribed corticosteroids for relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
