  • Answer:

    Cortizone cream will help. Ask your doctor for a prescription, which will be stronger than the kind you can get without a prescription. And take Benadryl. It is an antihistamine pill that will help. It is non-prescription, but your pharmacist can help you with it.

Calamine lotion will help it dry up and benadryl, which is an antihistamine, will help relieve the itching. If you're highly allergic to poison ivy (as I am), it can take months for the rash to completely clear up, but it'll just take a couple of weeks for most people.
