I have already been to the doctor and got a shot but doesnt seem to be helping at all....

Poison Ivy! Plz Help!!?
theres not much u can do, but u can try using benadryll to stop itching. DO NOT ITCH. you will make it only worse and afetrwards you will have scars and thats not good.
Reply:Benedryl. Both cream and oral. Rubbing alcohol also . Put the affected part of the body under the sink faucet or stand in the shower and run warm water over it. Slowly cut out the cold water until you are running water as hot as you can stand. You will begin to feel prickles. Do this as often as it itches. It will clear up within a matter of days and you will need no more creams etc.

Run a warm bath and put a considerable amount of the baking soda into the water. Soak the affected area(s). The baking soda will leach the poison out of you skin. There will be a noticeable difference the following day. The affected area's will begin to dry out. Continue baking soda bath daily until it is gone.you also can use calamine lotion as a topical treatment if you wish. Gold Bond Powder works as well
Reply:An antihistamine and calamine lotion is best.
Reply:Put calamine lotion on it. You can buy medicated calamine to help with the itching also. My boyfriend just had poison ivy, and it worked well. Oh, and try not to touch it.
