I'm highly allergic to the stuff.
First... unless you are being exposed to the urushiol repeatedly it shouldn't be coming back. Because of this I would suggest hitting up your doc and asking for a z-pak. If your wounds are weeping like crazy... all you can really do is stuff like calamine to basically sop up the goo your wounds are weeping. As for the itching. This works best if you have a detatcheable shower head but if you haven't figured this out yet then I'm about to blow your mind. Turn the water on as hot as you can possibly stand it. I mean... to the point where you are wondering if you are possibly causing damage to your skin and nerves. Then run that shower head over the poison ivy wounds. ****ing heaven. Orgasmic. It is the most toe curling and intense feeling I have ever experienced at my own hands. So even though it sucks to have poison ivy there is, at least, a small silver lining to the experience. ![]() |

After steaming it to death I'd then apply the meds And yeah, there is absolutely something orgiastic about scratching the shit out of it, **** doctors warnings about spreading it around it just feels TOO good, talk about an endorphin/dopamine rush I'll keep scratching, and use soapy water under my nails afterwards |

Now I use these before and after possible contact. Haven’t had poison ivy since and I’m in the woods all the time. This won’t help your current situation as this is preemptive. ![]() |

it's bad for your skin and you shouldn't do it excessively, but running hot water over the rash is like the best thing at getting rid of the itch.

Too many responses, didn’t read em all.
Go to a doctor, walk in care, whatever. Get a steroid shot. Gone the next day. Poison ivy, oak, sumac, all is just the worst. You shouldn’t have waited so long to ask CP. Also, wash any clothes that may have made contact. Had a doctor friend who got ivy a year later after setting on the same blanket from a year before. Yikes!! Good luck.

I always used a spray called Ivy Dry. It kills the itch and dries out the rash and then once the rash really dries out, the spray will do this dual cold/burn thing that feels really awesome.

I'm glad I don't get affected by that stuff.
Out at the river one day I rubbed poison oak leaves all over my arms in front of everyone claiming I didn't get it. Well a few hours later after some drinking I get into an altercation with a classmate and it ends with me holding him in a choke hold. He was in the ER a few days later with poison Ivy all over but it was the worst on his neck. I had no reaction to it at all. |

I've used Calagell successfully. It's most important to get rid of the oils before your body reacts to them. |

I find not hitting my golf ball into the shit helps. Or wearing pants.

Epsom salt bath works well. Also a salve of wild plantain leaves, salt, water rubbed on will stop itching
