Hears a great cure. Cook some oat meal put it on the rash as hot as you can stand it, BUT not to hot or you'll burn your skin. Let it cool for about 5 or 10 minutes. Then wash it off with cold water. The itch is gone forever!
Bless you, just got it for the first time and didn't know what it was for the past week and a half! Damn near scratched parts of my skin to the bone, it feels like lol 😢😅
I've been dabbing a cotton ball, with vinegar, undiluted, onto my poison ivy rash, and it seems to keep it at bay, and drying it out, looks like it will heal in half the time. Great suggestions
i hear that purified clay also helps drain the blisters. bentonite clay is already in calamine lotion, but some people swear by making a paste of the calamine with more of the purified clay added and just keep on changing out the clay when the paste dries up. ive seen the results, it does seem to work.
When I worked at McDonald's there was an old timer who came in with very bad poison ivy on his legs. The next da it was almost gone ( invisible). Asked what he did, he said he sat in a tub of hot water and had added a cup of Clorox Bleach. I tried diluted bleach water on my arm when I had poison ivy and it really worked. No rash No itch.

When my skin is affected by poison ivy poison oak or sumac I take a hot soapy Rag and scrub that area down real good and then I apply isopropyl alcohol to the affected areas and around It Might Sting for a while but it sure drives up the areas and your problems will be over soon
If you can wash your skin where it was exposed to PI with a lot of soap & water within one hour, you might NOT get the dreaded , itching , blisters and rash. Timing and effectiveness of removing the sap / oil from your skin, will determine your outcome.
I have the rash and I have tried pulverized oatmeal [looks like flour], mixed with baking soda, coconut oil, and lotion. Didn't work. I've poured alcohol and it helped a little. I've tried apple cider vinegar. Didn't work. I'm taking benedryl it helps some. Went to the doctor and got a steroid shot and I'm waiting for it to start working. It is so bad one eye is nearly swollen shut. In the past I've used very hot water, Dawn soap or lye soap followed with alcohol. Didn't work this time.
I came up on your RU-vid channel and I have poison ivy has been a week and is to hasn't healed Can I still try it with the Apple cider vinegar and baking soda?

Misconception: Blister fluid or drainage can “spread” the rash. Fact: The blister fluid, and any drainage from a poison ivy affected site, does not contain the plant's toxin, urushiol, and this fluid will also not “spread” the rash.
