I am highly allergic to it. I used to use Calamine lotion, it worked pretty good, until I developed an allergy to it and it just made it worse. There is something I can't remember for the life of me what it was called that was in a white bottle, and it was clear liquid that stopped it from spreading as quickly and itching. Ya might want to have him call the Pharmacy and ask them about it. I hope I have helped. *hugs*  |

I used to work in a pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended benadryl (cream) and/or calamine lotion. Sometimes people get poison ivy so bad they need a prescription for steroids (presnidone) I think was the name to help them fight it off, if it gets any worse please see a doctor, I hope your dad feels better!  |

Elecon cream .o1% dries it up overnight. It's prescription stuff, but he could ask his doctor for it.  |

Witch Hazel can dry it up, but it can also irritate it, alcohol does the same thing. Definately don't use vinager. I just wish I could remember what it was called...I'm gonna look-up online and see what I can't find. *hugs* |

I also found this on a website: For poison ivy relief try- Clobetasol prop oint 0.05% 2 times/day on affected area. Keep body cool i.e. no perspiration. 2 tablets per day Allegra 60 mg. --"R. Small" ([email protected]) submitted 12/Aug/2000 *hugs* |

The best remedy for poison ivy isn't necessarily "home-made", but it's natural and very effective. Simply dab some tea tree oil on the affected areas. It cuts down on the itch, and dries up the poison ivy quicker than most other OTC remedies. It costs around $10 for a small bottle, but it lasts a long time. It's also great for insect bites, burns, itches, and infection. -- Trudie from NE Tip for poison ivy - use white shoe polish- dries it up. -- Jane from AK For the itch from poison ivy, use milk of magnesia on the rash. It will stop the itching. -- Patty from MI *hugs* |

This time I actually went to CVS Online and found probably the best OTC, that they recommend for poison ivy. It's CVS Itch Relief Spray Maximum Strength, it comes in a 2 ounce white bottle and it's $4.59. But if gets worse he may have to go to a Doctor. *hugs* |

Yuck, I usually use calomine lotion (the pink stuff). Last time I got it, I had to go to the doctor...I'm horribly allergic to it too.  |

Calamine lotions works the best of anything just don't scratch it or it's will spread. ~~  |
