Poison Ivy & Amlactin

[Groggy]

I have severe allergic reactions when I come into contact with poison ivy, I was doing some gardening work last week and have the feeling I may have come across some, I have a rash developing and I know it is not dermo, it's likely poison ivy. My question is, does anyone know if Amlactin can help speed up the healing process?

I wouldn't recommend Amlactin for Poison Ivy: it will sting a lot. Try aloe vera maybe.

In the past I have used Calamine lotion, but that stuff does little to help, in my opinion. Have you tried aloe vera?

If it gets bad you can use some corticosteroid cream to prevent itching and inflammation (you would need a prescription for the strong kind -- but you can get hydrocortisone cream over the counter, which is a mild corticosteroid).

The problem is I will scratch it at night and wake up with a new rash somewhere else, it is starting to drive me nuts and speaking of nuts, yeah let's just say that has not been fun.

Yeah, well the steroid cream should help with the itching. If it's really bad see your doc for a prescription for the strong stuff.

Here is hoping that the kava will dry it out, I'd trade poison ivy for dermo any day of the week.

If it's really bad just do like I do and go to the corner urgent care store and get a cortizone shot and maybe some pills. It will stop you from wanting to die.

Jewel weed ( touch me not ) is a cure for poison ivy sir.
I recommend finding a patch in the woods near ya for future use . They look like they have little dew on them. And when you touch them they shoot off at you . And that relieves poison ivy and nettle stings

What do you think the native Americans did when they got poison ivy !?
