    Poison ivy/oak

    Who has the best remedy??? Cause that bottle of pink stuff ain't working. And when I get it, it sucks and spreads fast. Need to nip it quick before my entire right arm is covered in it...

      If you know any one that has any or can get you some clobetesol propionate gel or cream 0.05%. It's a prescription topical steroid that will knock it down quick and stops itching. Not what it's prescribed for but works better than anything I have found and I have tried it all. Been battling poison ivy my whole life.

          Prednisone shot and pills from the Dr. Only thing I've found that works for me. I hate that stuff. Good luck.

            You need to use one of a couple things to make sure you get the oil off. Rubbing alcohol him, dish soap, orange hand scrub(like the sell at auto parts store, or the poison ivy scrub you get at PX. If you don't get the oil off it's just gonna get worse.

                          If you want to make sure all the oil is off then take a shower and wash thoroughly with Dawn dish soap. Since you're already reacting and covered in pretty big patches you may want to get to your doctor asap (or call and tell them what happened and they can call in a RX for a steroid pack). Major bummer man. Sorry to see this.

                              I've heard dawn dish soap removes the oils. I wouldn't know for sure though because neither effect me.
