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. Many say that Jewelweed helps a TON but I don't have any so I wouldn't know sorry. Also go to the doctor if the rash worsens and wash anything that may have come in contact with Poison Ivy or Poison Oak and the such.
Hope this helps :)
