Poison oak can refer to one of two species of the genus Toxicodendron that are native to North America. Toxicodendron diversilobum, or Rhus diversiloba, which is the Western Poison oak, or Toxicodendron pubescens, or Rhus pubescens, which is the Atlantic Poison oak.

Be certain to thoroughly wash all affected body parts with cold water and strong detergent soap (never use hot water as it opens up skin pores driving the urushiol resin still deeper inside your skin). Never pop or rupture the blisters. Keep affected areas clean and open to the air, allowing them to dry out. It is not recommended to cover over or bandage the oozing blisters as it may lead to further complications still later on. If an infection develops immediately seek medical care from a trained medical professional.

If the itching becomes so great use benadryl gel, or hot compresses to ease the discomfort.

No it won't. It'll just add to the cleanup.

Poison ivy rashes last about 1-3 weeks, the itching will go away in approx. 1 week or maybe less. Avoid scratching rashes, or it will turn red and leave scars.

You're welcome!

If you get poison ivy on your tongue, which you can do if you put the leaves in your mouth or are exposed to the smoke from burning poison ivy, you should see a doctor.

There's no topical treatment except perhaps sucking on ice chips to numb the area. Your doctor might consider a course of prednisone.

The swelling might begin to interfere with your breathing. Then you should get to a hospital for treatment to ensure you don't suffocate while getting over this allergic reaction.

Yes. The oil causing the rash might spread on the water surface and come in contact with your skin although after a short wile the water and pool chemicals will probably reduce the irritant so much that it will be unnoticeable.

Ivy-Dry you can get it at any pharmacy

As far as I can tell from my internet research, there is no poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) in the Philippines. However there are far more dangerous plants there such as the Stinger (Dendrocnide Moroides), the Poison Arrow Tree (Antiaris Toxicaria), the Cashew Tree (Anacardium occidentale), and even the Mango Tree (Mangifera spp.).

Poison Ivy varies by location. Again use the sayings

Leaflets three; let it be" is the best known and most useful cautionary rhyme. It applies to poison oak, as well as to poison ivy.

It may help with the itching but is probably not a good treatment for poison ivy without talking to your doctor.

Here is what I found:

Econazole comes as a cream to apply to the skin. Econazole is usually used once or twice a day, in the morning and evening, for 2 weeks. Some infections require up to 6 weeks of treatment. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use econazole exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Thoroughly clean the infected area, allow it to dry, and then gently rub the medication in until most of it disappears. Use just enough medication to cover the affected area. You should wash your hands after applying the medication.

Continue to use econazole even if you feel well. Do not stop using econazole without talking to your doctor.

An allergic reaction will usually occur within 1 or 2 days of exposure.
