Will Application Of Benadryl Cream Cause Skin Rash
i was having a slight swelling and itching around my ankles and lower legs. i purchased benadryl cream and used it on the affected areas. i played golf today and the sun gave me a very red rash and .increased the swelling. l am seeing my doctor in the morning.my question is does the sun give that effect to benadryl medicated skin.
Benadryl actually causes more sensitivity to sunlight, it means that it makes your skin more sensitive in sun. It is better to avoid going out while applying, or you may apply it at night.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
