How long does it take to recover from the poison ivy rash normally?
Poison Ivy Rash?
Alot depends on how bad you got it and all, however 2 weeks is a good range. Remember to wash everything that you may have come in contact with...including shoes. If the oil from the plant is still around, you can keep re-infecting yourself. Don't itch it, benadryl, claritin or the like will help. Also another Antihistamine may help as well, they are normally for acid reflux, but are used in the ER...called Zantac, etc...these are H2 blockers. Topical cream like Hydrocortisone is good also. Calamine doesnt really do much, but if you like it you can use it. If none of this helps, go to the doctor, you may need a course of steroids to reduce the inflammation. Good Luck!!
Reply:Up to a week.
