Poison ivy on lip!!! help!!!?

yes im sure it is poison ivy, i have a little on my chin too. it's on my top lip, and it is really nasty. it is just a little bumpy now, but i don't want it getting any bigger.



i got it from my dog because she ran in it and then scratched me, it has happenend several times before.



usualy i use rubbing achol(however it is spelled) but it is on my lip, and i'm not sure what i can put on it.



I havn't been scratching it, and i don't plan to. usualy i get rid of it by drying it out, so thats what i'm doing. if it doesn't get better by the weekend, i will try to go to the doctor.



I play the french horn, and it isn't too easey to play like this, lucklly it is summer, so i don't have anything to work on. But the longer i go without playing, the harder it is to play again.



help!!!

i had this happen to me last summer. use caladryl you can buy it at wal-mart and put it on at least six times a day (that'll dry it out). after you're done putting it on wash your hands with dish liquid so that you aren't spreading the posion ivy all over. if it doesn't go away within like 5 or 6 days go see a doctor. good luck! oh and drink your drinks through straws!
Reply:mix some baking soda,oatmeal,and water (equal parts) til pasty and pat it on.Keep it coated well and it should clear in about 3 days.
Reply:what ever you do don't like your lips you have to see a doctor right away it could cause infections.... anywhere basically when you eat it could touch you lip and you swallow it and especially when you drink you need to go to a doctor right away.
Reply:go see a doctor and Put some ice on it to keep it from swelling
Reply:IvyDry is sold at Walgreens and most pharmacies...also at WalMart, I believe. This stuff will dry it up really fast and relives the itch. You might also try hydrocortisone cream as it is also drying and itch relieving
