I have poison ivy and here is what has been helping me: Rhubarb - take the stem and use the juice to rub on the rash, helps the itching go away a bit Anti-Itch cream - Hydrocortisone, place in fridge and use 2-4 times a day Alcohol - rub on before you put anti-itch on Ice - ice pack and such This is just what I have been using and it may work differently for different people.
