General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It sounds strange, but some people are allergic to Benadryl. Benadryl treats allergy, but it gives several people hives. In this case, I suggest prescribed corticosteroids.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
