Question: Poison ivy or sumac need help?
I have ether poison ivy or poison sumac and have tried hydro-cortisone cream, baking soda, and stridex pads and nothing seems to be working. ive had it for about 5 days now and im getting desperate. If anyone can help please do!

Answers:

You need to go to a doctor so he can give you a steroid shot and prescribe you some cream. This would be the best step after not being able to cure it with home remedy



There is a plant that naturally kills poison ivy, called Jewelweed. They're are special soaps made out of this that help get rid of the rash fairly quickly. I had a horrible case of poison sumac all over my face and body, after I put this on my skin it started going away within a few days. I put the soap on my skin but I did not wash it off, I left it on there and kept applying the soap (it comes in a bar form) every few hours.
