Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Try oatmeal soaks.: There are specific products that you can buy that will wash the urushiol off. Some options of treating poison ivy include calamine lotion, Hydrocortisone cream and antihistamines. Anything which has touched urushiol from the poison ivy needs to be cleaned (clothes, shoes, gear etc.) oral steroids are sometimes indicated.
