I have posion ivy on my arm. How do you STOP the itch?

 

[igorsMistress]

Calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream after washing with soap and lukewarm water

Here are some ways:

1. Immediately rinse your skin with lukewarm, soapy water.
2. Wash you clothing
3. Wash everything that may have the oil on its surface.
4. Do not scratch, as scratching can cause infection.

Good luck!

P.S. You posted in to areas.....

Go to the doctor and get prednisone.

Rubbing alcohol or bleach. Burns link crazy but stops the itch and drys it up. I know it sounds crazy but it’s the fastest way to get rid of it.

Lavender and or peppermint essential oil (make sure to get the right dilution or it may burn a little).
