Bendryl can help dogs suffering from skin problems, but you really need to contact your vet to get the correct dose for your dog.

There are several different over the counter antihistamines besides Bendryl (Periactin, Tavist and Loratadine for example). Each has different active ingredients. If one doesn't seem to help your dog, another brand could be more effective. Again, you'd need to get the correct dosing from your vet.

Though an antihistamine may help your dog feel better and reduce itching, it's just treating the itchy symptom, and not doing anything to stop the problem. Your best bet for treating your dog is to have your vet examine your dog to find the cause of the itch!

Benadryl can only be used with veterinarian's guidance. IF your dog had ingested benadryl take him to the vet asap.
