I have a bad case of poison ivy! i have some fluticasone propionate cream from my daughters dr visit awhile back. is that good to use on it?

Probably fine if: not expired and you have no medical contraindication to it (and you know it's poison ivy or another similar contact dermatitis). If it's not improving, though, you should have your doctor look at it.
