Poison Ivy?????

I have poison ivy on my eyelid and surrounding my eye. What can I use to relieve the itching and get it to go away.

Poison Ivy?????
To relieve itching and help blisters dry out, apply wet compresses or soak the area in cool water. Antihistamine pills or calamine lotion may help relieve symptoms. To prevent infection, try not to scratch the rash and cut your fingernails short to minimize the possibility of opening the skin and spreading bacteria. If this doesnt help then you need to go to the doc and get prescription meds.
Reply:I've been there sweetheart and the best thing you can do is go to the DR and get a Benadryl shot with in 24 to 48 hours it should be completely gone
Reply:Call your doctor at once. My daughter had some around her face and they wanted to check her right away. They gave her steroids and told me to use calamine lotion. Good luck, it takes a good 10 days or so with meds. to get rid of it...
Reply:Calamine lotion is best. What ever you do don't scratch it!! But you have probably already heard that. The thing is most of the creams and lotions will hurt your eye so it is best to keep them out. Ask your doctor what he suggests. I think that is a lot better than coming to yahoo questions about it.
Reply:Have you gone to your local pharmacy. There are creams that will help. Speak with the pharmacist.
Reply:ooh i feel really bad for you...... well i was always told to wash it off really quickly with lots of soap why dont you wash your face really really really well mabye while saying your abc's twice or something like that if that doesnt work go to your doctor for medication or a cream that might help=)
Reply:You shall go to a Doctor, and request for laboratory tests of your eye. It is important to determine what kind of bacteria is causing that, and with that information the doctor can tell you which is the antibiotic you need.


Dont take other medications unless are prescribed by a doctor.
Reply:you need to go to the doctor....don't want it getting into your eye
