A member asked:

I have poison ivy on both arms, i heard apple cider vinegar helps to dry the dash up, is this true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Poison ivy: The more effective treatment for this contact dermatitis is applying a corticosteroid ointment. Your pharmacist can recommend one for you. For very severe or extensive cases you should consult a physician or dermatologist.
