Is It Safe To Use Benadryl For The Rash On The Upper Arm And Penis?

I was weeding in my yard and was using rubber gloves, the next day I had a rash on my upper left arm and then I noticed it on my penis. Is it safe to use Benadryl Itch stopping gel on my penis? I am not sure if it is poison ivy or just an allergic reaction. I have allergies and am sensitive to these types of things. But never experienced this before....thank you.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it looks like allergies to the grass.

Allergies can be handled by benadryl, prednisolone and calamine lotion application over the rash. Please take the medication under your doctors guidance.

This will relieve your rash immediately.

In future please wear good protective equipment that can not expose you to the risk of allergies.

Please do not scratch the skin hardly other wise injury can cause the infection over the skin.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
