If my baby has a mosquito bite, can I apply Benadryl for insect bites?

Hello, ma'am,

I would suggest a 1% hydrocortisone cream available without a prescription and the application of a fragrance-free moisturizer such as Aveeno as often as necessary. There is an ingredient in Benadryl cream that could potentially increase the risk of a reaction.

I hope I have been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions!
