Poison ivy!! help me!!!?
Benadryl, tylenol, and not touching the poison ivy spots.
Reply:You can try taking benadryl for the itch and use calamine lotion also for the itch but it also dries up the patches. If it is all over his body and it's unbearable and out of control go see your MD and he/she is able to give him an oral medication (steriod) and/or an injection. Good luck to you and your dad!!!
Reply:you need to go to your doctor and they will prescribe steroids for you to take they start you at a high dose then you taper down it will help you out so much I had it so bad a few years ago and went to my doctor and got steroids and thank god for them in two days I was so much better.


Good luck I know how your dad feels
Reply:Look for a product called "Ivyrest" or "Zanfel". I've had great results with Ivyrest, and hear good things about Zanfel. Ivyrest has a topical anesthetic that numbs the skin a bit and helps relieve the itching.
Reply:go to thee doctorssss.
