Poison Ivy Help?

Does anyone have any home remedies that work for poison ivy? I am alternating benedryl cream, cortozone cream and calamine w/benedryl. I also have a presciption that is for any infection, but I'm ready to rip my arm off, any suggestions are appreciated!

Well you have to be carefull with all those creams. I use Tee Tree oil on my sons fingers. It really dried it up quickly but the infected area almost looks burned. There are different strengths of Tee Tree oil, I would try one that is diluted first.

Good luck!
Reply:yea, i had poison ivy a while ago, what worked the best was some spray called like ivy-be-gone or something like that, all i know is that since my dad is a doctor, he says that sprays work the best...good luck!

Reply:If you haven't seen any improvement doing the things that you are doing in about 3-4 days, I'd go back to the doctor for a shot. As I've gotten older, the usual remedies seem to be diminishing in their effectiveness. The last time I got poison ivy it took a shot + pills + creams to clear it up.
