A member asked:
Please help, how much longer will my poison ivy last on steroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 weeks : Untreated poison ivy resolves in about two to three weeks. Treated with a high enough dose of steroids for long enough, there should be significant improvement within 48 hours and almost full resolution in 10 days.
