A member asked:
Can you tell me is it ok to put hydrogen peroxide on poison ivy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't do that.: There are specific products that you can buy that will wash the urushiol off. Some options of treating poison ivy include calamine lotion, oatmeal soaks, Hydrocortisone cream and antihistamines. Hydrogen peroxide may damage already damaged skin.
