Astringent on poision ivy?
An astringent will probably just aggravate the condition. If you go to the store there is some medicine that will clear it up really quick! It is a little expensive, but works fast! It is called Zanfel. I would take a really hot shower and scrub the rash, rub on the Zanfel, take some benedryl (don't use the benedryl cream on poison ivy, as it can cause a reaction) and go to sleep. You should notice a difference by the next morning.

I have a nursing instructor that swears by a medicine called Tecnu. It might be worth a shot!
Reply:Run super hot water over the rash then put gauze over it and leave it for a few days
