I tried for about 3 days to cotrol it and make it go away w/ a variety of items ( caladryl lotion, oatmeal baths, cotizone...to name a few. I decided to go to the doctor who perscribed a steroid called prednisone ( 3 pills a day for 6 days ). This helps to dry up the poision that has entered your system. As far as the scratching goes they have perscribed a cream called clobetasol propionate. Which I can verify is the only thing so far that has helped reduce ( not eliminate ) the itching. If you go to tanning you will only make it worse as you will sweat and potentially pass the poision on to other parts of your body. I am currently going throough the same battle.

now, about ur posion ivy, there is nothing much u can do now … the allergen is in there and even if u take anti-allergic drugs they wont help ..

usually the allergy and rash stays for a day or 2 so am no sure how long its been with u !! if it stays for long i would suggest u go see a doctor .. not for the dangers now but in the future in case this happens again … u might be suffering from type 4 hypersensitivity (delayed-type hypersensitivity) and in a second contact with the poison oak it might become type 1 and it might be quite dangerous!!

so i would watch out for those ivys !! and in case this happen again make sure there is someone with u !

They used to make something called ivy-dry that my really allergic friend used, but I don't know if they still do.
