Sorry to hear you've had such a rough time of it. But you really need to consult with your doctor on this. We can't give medical advice over the Internet. There are other medicines besides Benadryl that help with itching, but whether any of these would be right for you is a question only your doctor who knows you and examines you can answer.

 

Good luck,
