Poison ivy help?
Don't cover it up. I strongly suggest you go to either a regular md or a dermatologist %26amp; get some poison ivy cream. Sometimes they can even give you a free sample. You will heal much faster. Good luck.
Reply:You can use calamine lotion (pink or white stuff) to help control the itching and sooth the area.



You can also go to a dermatologist and get a cortisol shot if it is really bad.



Don't cover it up though, as that will irritate the area and make it worse. Try soaking in an oatmeal bath and air drying.



good luck

Reply:Go to a doctor, you may need steroid cream to reduce the swelling, and then the doctor will either give or prescribe to you a good ointment.
