How might a sauna affect my poison ivy rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Itchier After Sauna: There are no contra-indications to being in a sauna with a poison ivy rash, but itchy rashes are often worse after exposure to heat. While heat may initially be soothing, the sweating and evaporation after a sauna may make your rash itchier.
