Interesting; I guess it would make sense that Zyrtec would work for other skin reactions. We were told to switch my oldest DS specifically to Zyrtec for year-round use as he was using something else (Claritin or Allegra) for hay fever at the time.

However, unless I am remembering wrong, I believe that Claritin was on the list for treatment of mild allergic reactions that wouldn't respond to benadryl.
