What to do if i have poison ivy all over my face! please help!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poison ivy: After removing your clothes and washing your face, you will need to be seen by urgent care or walk in clinic. You can then be evaluated and given a prescription for topical and oral anti-inflammatory agents, usually corticosteroids, that help control this disturbingly itchy rash. Also want to make sure that your eyes are not involved. Go to the doctor, rather than wait and let it get worse.
