How to make Poison Ivy less noticeable?!
Question: How to make Poison Ivy less noticeable!?
I was doing some yard work the other day and didn't realize there was a little poison ivy plant in the brush I was moving!. Today, the insides of my arms and my wrists have poison ivy rashes on them (I am very sensitive to it)!. Problem is, I am the Maid of Honor in a wedding next week!!!! How can I make it less noticeable!? I will put make up on it on the wedding day, but is there something I could be doing now to help make it go away faster!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Hydrocortizone cream morning and night over all affect areas!. Don't waste your time with a doctor- they can't do anything for poison ivy except suggest hydrocortizon or calamine lotion(which you also might want to try- but it never worked for me) There is no magic pill or shot they can give!.
Keep the rash clean and dry!. use dry dressings if it starts to weep!. DON'T SCRATCH!!! Hardest thing ever- but it will make it last longer if you scratch!.
You can try taking some benodryl, but it probably wont help much since the rash is already set in!.
Good luck!
