A member asked:
How can i teat my poison ivy as fast as possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids: HI! Immediate (within 20 minutes) decontamination (thorough washing) can help prevent it. Control of symptoms with calamine, oatmeal baths, oral diphenhydramine. For severe rash, or for fastest possible treatment, a physician can prescribe oral steroid. (Topical steroid creams have NOT been proven to help)
