I only received benadryl with pre med in loading dose. I take an oral on day of infusion for peace of mind.

Benadryl does nothing for itchy rash. deramatologist don't get it, i tried.

HOWEVER, theres' a lotion called SARNA, over the counter, for eczema and it gets rid of my itchiness.

I get it sometimes even in the hot shower when my pores breath. Tryi it. it's a bit expnsive ( 12.99 for over the counter is high

) but it lasts and its fragance free. I found it looking for something to help me that did not involve another pill. It has a very mild analgesic, not menthol.

I also get an itchiness if I sweat, almost like the hercepting is oozing out of my body.

Good luck
