A member asked:
How long would a pt have to have a poison ivy rash or how severe would it have to be for the dr to suggest kenalog injection as treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poison Ivy is bad: Poison ivy can be treated with I.M. Kenalog, but I prefer a course of oral prednisone because it does not supress the adrenal gland as long as a Kenalog injection and can be stopped when the rash is gone.
