What to do for poison ivy on your lips?

Steroids.: If you are very early in the contact oral steroids are probably your best bet. Facial lesions cannot tolerate the ultrapotent topical meds. Need to see doc soon to start these as they are not effective if started too late. Two week or more course is required.
