A patient has a rash that is being treated with antihistamines. How do antihistamines help the rash?

Antihistamines block the effects of histamine, a substance released during allergic reactions that can cause itching. They do not remove or inhibit the allergens themselves, but they can reduce the itching they trigger. So the best choice is “inhibit the allergens that cause itching.”
