Poison ivy?

I have just gotten poison ivy on a part of my leg and i started bathing in salt water, becuase somebody said it would help it is this true?

Poison ivy?
I never heard of that...


but I know that when I would swim in the ocean and I would have poison ivy it would relieve the itch so maybe salt water will help.


I also swam in a pool (chlorine) amd that would dry it out, but don't put bleach on it, I already tried that - duh! (I felt desperate)


I would suggest to really try not to itch it that will make it spread.


I would put cortizone on it or a gold bond lotion, that usually helps me. I


have also tried calamine lotion in the past.


My mom had me use a cornstarch paste when I was younger and that seemed to help, also.


Good luck and remember - don't scratch it!
Reply:probably not, but you cna use that pink stuff and it will stop the itching, which will maek it go away faster.
Reply:I've never heard of salt water. Maybe it is true. When I got poisen Ivy, I had a special cream to put on. I also wrapped my arm up in a bandage so I wouldn't ich it. Eventually it went away. I think NOT iching helps. Go to the store and get some cream.
