HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The rash could definitely be an allergic reaction to one of the products mentioned especially if you have not used them before or it can be a viral exanthem which is a rash that is associated with viral infections including the flu.

You can continue to use the benadryl every 6 hours but if there is no improvement, you may need a short course of oral steroids.
This would require a prescription from your doctor.

I hope this helps
