From what I can see on the image it does not appear to look like hives. Secondly I would avoid giving antihistamines like benadryl I'm a child less than 6 months. The safest antihistamine one can give at the age of 6 months can be fexofenadine or cetirizine which are second generation anti- histamines.
I would suggest a visit to the pediatrician to have a better look at this rash.
