You can use cortizone. This comes in a tube for skin rashes. If the itch is very bad you can soak in a tub of warm water and (believe it or not) oatmeal. Yes, pour in a box of oatmeal and soak in the water for an hour and this will help ease the itching. Make sure you pat dry and not wipe dry as patting dry will not spread the rash.

Is rubbing alcohol safe to use on poison ivy?

Using rubbing alcohol on poison ivy can dry out the skin and potentially make the itching and irritation worse. It is recommended to use calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream for relief from poison ivy symptoms.


Will clotrimazole cream help poison Ivy?

I was prescribed triamcinolone acetonide for my poison ivy, so I'm guessing the consensus in the medical field is that it does work. I am very allergic to poison ivy, and after 6 days, the rash has diminished but not disappeared. The intensity of the redness has lessened 4-5 shades, and it does not itch near as often, nor as badly. In my opinion, and apparently in my doctors opinion, it does work. It is a topical steriod, and steroids are often the prescription givin for poison ivy infection.

Will bleach and water kill poison ivy?

From personal experience pure bleach on a cotton ball rubbed onto the affected area works better than anything I have ever tried. The itch goes away almost immediately and the healing time is cut in half at least. Every time it begins to itch again, rub some more on. It will only burn if the skin has been irritated by scratching and even this feels better than the miserable, constant itch. This method keeps the itch away for several hours. This also works on insect bites that itch such as chiggers & bee stings.

What kind of defense strategy does posion ivy plant have?

Since poison ivy is a plant its only defence is that when any thing touches it, it gives off poison onto your skin which looks like a red blotch on your skin. If you ever get poison ivy don't itch it that just makes it worse and once you touch it and you touch some were else on your skin it spreads. To treat it, use itch cream and if that doesn't work, talk to your pharmacist!!!
