Poisen Ivy

[BlueDevil14]

Hello everyone.

School is just around the corner and I just got poison ivey. I have tryed the oatmeal baths and the calamine lotion and all that stuff. The itchining wont stop, and it keeps spreading. Any hints to help this stop?

[jjmoto]

i dont get it but my bro does and he usually just uses hydrocortison or however u spell it and it works are u sure its poison ivy

[berger1227]

i had it for 2 months all oer my body including face and...other places i prefer not to mention

hydrocortozone cream helps the itching for a while

bennadryll pills idk what kind theyre small and pink they make you tired but the itching is gone for a couple hours

if it gets really bad see your physician about pregnozone it gets rid of it 100%

Don't scratch it... and get this stuff called Zanfel... it's $30 but it works!

[berger1227]

zanfel is 39.99 where i am and it only works on minor to moderate cases

your right though dont scratch it but you CAN "slap it"

Go to your doctor and get some of the steroid stuff. You either get pills or an ointment.

[berger1227]

the steroids are called pregnezone and i had a 10 day tapering dose..this stuff WORKS

I do not recomend taking steriodsd, because once you start taking them you have to slowly get off them, and they can also have bad effects.
You can tape the prts of your body with poison ivy so u cant directly sracth them. Also my friend had poison ivy and he got a shot fopr it and it stopped itching for him and was no longer spreading.

Actually you do. I'm on them right now (unfortunatley), but not for posin ivy or allergies, but for my stomach. If you just stop taking them your body gets really messed up. So you do have go off them slowly otherwise it will have bad effects.

I believe they wein you off them if you have been taking them for a long period of time. Happend to me too, not poison but for the intestine, I was on it for a while in the hospital then had to keep taking smaller and smaller doses over a long period of time, or what seemed like a long period of time.

[wglax14]

dont itch.

[berger1227]

ok...seriously...read what i say

a TAPERING DOSE of PREGNIZONE (steroids) works beyond belief...not even any side effects

get that and hydrocortizone and your fine

[dta06]

Alot of hydrocortizone works. it worked for me but it takes a while

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

if it's too bad... you can go to your doctor and get a shot for it, and it will be gone in about 3 days as long as you leave it alone.

[BlueDevil14]

I just got steroid cream from my doctors...how long till you see results? I start school tomorrow.

[raykessler]

i had poisen ivy right before the lax season last year right on my ankle, so i had to get rid of it quick, what i did was slather it in tons of hydracortisone then cover it with gauze pads and then medical tape. That way i couldn't scratch it.

[Mustangs21]

I guess you should see a doctor for a perscription or something. Also putting duct tape and the infected parts will prevent you from scratching yourself. Lucky for me I dont get posion ivy. Good Luck!

[Laxguy93]

theres this stuff called Zamfel, it works amazingly. You can find it in any pharmacy just asked for the stuff. BTW it may be a little expensive

[berger1227]

read...my...posts zanafel is 39.99 and works only on minor to moderate cases

dude i would just mix some bleach and water together and then put that on the poison ivy and so it dries it out nice and good but like when u first put it on it burns but then it stops. the poison ivys gone in like a week tho sooo....

Do you know what happens when you put bleach on your skin?


It makes soap... and melts your skin


Not a good idea.

[berger1227]

wow seriously dont listen to the bleach idea
tape helps if your scratching to much just try not to scratch

why not... i was just going to say the same thing. everytime i get it i open it up with a knife and pour chlorlox on it. it dries it up pretty fast.

[Icey Defender]

i always get and it and nothing seems to help so my method is to scratch it all off, it may be painfull but then it scabs over and doesnt itch anymore
