What Causes Swelling And Itchy Redness In The Body Despite Using Benadryl?
I have been getting this swelling itchy redness on different parts of my body, it will last for 12 to 36 hours then go away and return days or weeks later on a different part of my body, right foot, groin, left foot, lips, waist, left hand. Usually it starts by being itchy, then within an hour starts to turn red, then swelling will spread or just move and skin gets real tight, then eventually goes away...I take Benadryl to calm the itch

Hello,
From your description, it seems a case of allergy . When you are exposed to allergen your body will react to that giving rise to itching, redness , swelling et cetera.
So, it is very important to avoid such foods, cosmetics or anything that's causing such kind of reaction in your body. You keep a record of things which causes such reaction and avoid those things.
You can apply Atarax, anti-itch lotion 2 to 3 times per day, Cetaphil moisturizing lotion for regular use. Also, take tablet Vozet at night time only (when you faced this itching, redness and swelling), tablet Ener C 1000 mg dissolvable early morning empty stomach.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priya Mohod Shirsat
