Some of those super duper steroids scare me, orders of magnitude stronger than plain old hydrocortisone. I will write for them for stuff on the bottom of the foot, but that skin is thick if you can get relief from something not as strong, it cuts down on chance of adverse effects. The steroid injection will chill that inflammatory response out.
The benadryl is an anti-histamine and will sedate a bit. If you are asleep and not scratching, does it matter if it itches still? How did you get it on the roof of your mouth? That poison oak/ivy/sumac stuff is freakin' nasty.
There are some that would say, "Son, you best soak some rags in coal oil and wrap them around your ankles so the ants don't climb up your leg and eat your candy ass right off." I would probably never say that, but I know people who would.
For goodness sake wash your hands after putting that steroid cream on.
