Poison Ivy?

anyone know anything to put on a poison ivy rash to help it go away, and to take the itch away. I've tried hydrocortizone, calamine, pretty much every thing. Any tips?

Poison Ivy?
Years ago we had something called fels-naptha soap that we used on poison ivy. It was a large single bar of brown soap that was wrapped in paper. If you can find some (I've included a website for you if you can't find it locally) buy a bar and keep in handy.





Scrub the poison ivy to open the blisters and then lather up the fels-naptha soap and put the lather on the open blisters. Don't wash it off. Let it dry there. After a few hours you can wash it off and put the calamine lotion on it.





After looking it up, I discovered that it is a laundry soap, so look there in your grocery store first.

Reply:Fels-naptha soap is very similar to Octagon soap, except that I haven't seen fels-naptha soap in years. You can get Octagon right in the supermarket. Report It

Reply:If over the counter medicines aren't helping, it's time to go to the doctor. You might benefit from a stronger hydrocortisone cream.
Reply:u need a shot,after u get the shot it is like day and nite.
