How to get rid of bad poiaen ivy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Steroids: For really bad, full body poison ivy - especially if it involves the face - i might use an oral steroid burst, some thing like Prednisone for a few days. For just bad local reactions, i recommend cool/ice packs to help with the itch, then a steroid and/or antihistamine cream. Good luck!

Medication: Depending how bad it is, visit your doctor for medicated cream, or even an injection to get rid of it.
