1 week: If the over the counter product does not help by the end of the week review the problem with your doctor.

Beware: "natural" means nothing. Poison ivy is all natural. Try an otc cream for a few days, then see a professional. You may benefit from a dr. Don't assume that a clerk in a pharmacy or herb store knows any more than you do.
