Allergic reaction question

[Deleted]

I should know this but it's kind of weird.
At 5pm today, L broke out a bit with 1-3 hives but within 30mon they were gone so I thought nothing of it. She has sensitive skin.
Then after bath, she started breaking out all over. Benadryl cleared it up.
What could have caused it? Nothing new. No new soap.
2 days ago, I used this detangling spray after washing. No reaction. And yesterday - no reaction.
Is it possible, when she was in the bath, it came out of her hair in the water and reacted? From 24 hours ago?
Nothing else was new

She is also having a bit of a cold. No fever.
Maybe we will never know

This is most likely not an allergic reaction. Hives/rash can occur after a bath which is what this sounds like since the initial hives resolved.

I would just continue to monitor. If the rash/hives worsen you can try benadryl.

DS has super sensitive skin and randomly breaks out in hives after swimming, bathes, or playing in the rain. It is super strange but they quickly go away with a dose of Zyrtec or Benadryl.

DD2 recently had hives during a cold. It was crazy, all over her body. Benadryl cleared it up and nothing has happened since. This was right before I left on a solo trip Labor Day weekend so I was freaked out but she did fine.

DS has had hives all over his body with very little explanation. The allergist just said he is a "hivey kid" who gets hives with viruses. We think a bad bout of pneumonia sent his system into overdrive. That was 2 years ago. He has been in Xyzal for a year and a half due to cold urticaria, but we recently stopped it. He had a bad cold, and no hives. We think he is outgrowing it!

And the cold seemed better last night. I would much rather have hives plus Benadryl than cough with no treatment.
Thanks for the feedback
