I have poison ivy and here is what has been helping me:
Rhubarb
- take the stem and use the juice to rub on the rash, helps the itching go away a bit
Anti-Itch cream
- Hydrocortisone, place in fridge and use 2-4 times a day
Alcohol
- rub on before you put anti-itch on
Ice
- ice pack and such
This is just what I have been using and it may work differently for different people. Many say that Jewelweed helps a TON but I don't have any so I wouldn't know sorry. Also go to the doctor if the rash worsens and wash anything that may have come in contact with Poison Ivy or Poison Oak and the such.
Hope this helps :)

∙ 10y agoYou need to go to your doctor and check what kind
it could be poison sumac, ivy, or poison oak!
go to rite aid and get "Robs anti poison ivy, sumac, and oak cream"
take a bath often and also try to find poison ivy soap
also try to find "oatmeal bath"
i prefer Bert's bee's poison ivy soap it helps a lot!
what also helps is Rubbing Alcohol! the Alcohol helps the poison ivy dry up and scab so don't scratch!
soon the scabs will fall off and your skin will be back to normal so DON'T SCRATCH!
good luck!!!!!!!!
well there is nothing worse then getting it on your face and that's what happened to me. If your like me and you get it on your face, your doctor will give you steroids! Not bad steroid's, but good ones, it helps the scratching stop and helps it go away! good luck!!!! :)

How do you rid of poison?
If you are near the ocean anywhere, get into the water, lightly break the poison ivy blisters with sand and let the ocean water get at it. This dries up poison ivy faster than any other treatment I know. This can get rid of poison ivy in just a day or two. other means include,applying tea tree oil or aloe vera.You can get rid of Poison Ivy rashes by immediately rinsing your skin when the poison ivy strikes, rubbing the skin with some alcohol, or by taking an antihistamine.
