WAY to general of a question and that subject is something you can base a whole career off of. It's to complex of an answer to give on a forum like this.

To give you a simple straight forward answer --> NO Benadryl will not slow down natural healing in a case of a simple rash/cold combo. Be aware that many exceptions exist and my answer is very much over simplified. DO NOT try to self diagnose your condition and follow the advice you were given by your medical provider.

If you truly want more info on the human immune system check the link out and understand that its just the basics or take an immunology class.

So taking an OTC allergy pill daily doesn't necessarily weaken immunity?
