If it's really bad go to the doctor and they will give you a pill to take for two weeks, it gets rid of it in a few days though.

Yes, I believe it's prednisone. I had poison ivy really bad when I was pregnant and they gave me that and an ointment. I felt better instantly.

Aveeno also makes an oatmeal bath specifically for poison ivy. It helps dry it out a little.

There is also another product by Band-Aid...it's anti-itch gel. I found it works better than any other I've tried (and I've tried 'em all.)

Good luck! I've had poison ivy more than my fair share of times! I feel your pain!!
