poison ivy again?!?!?!?!?

[nickie]

Does anyone have any tips to help heal the rash? I picked up poison ivy last week traipsing around in a hollar looking for my old dog that wondered off for the first time ever. I didn't realize I had it until a few days later. I have a HUGE problem, you see, its on my arms! I'm a massage therapist and that is a big problem!

Any tips or tricks for this?

Prednizone (sp?) steroids.

Prednizone (sp?) steroids.

Loads of stuff on the market, old school is cider vinegar and a sponge to dry it out. I use that and fast orange hand cleaner with pumice. it takes off the blisters and opens things up to dry them out quickly. use a nice balm or something to seal them off after. do not ad things like mineral oil to your skin after or it keeps it from drying the blisters out.

I bet fast Orange and pumice feels sooooo good.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I won't be taking any medications for it as I am having some medical issues right now and prefer to keep a clean body for accurate testing. I will try the cider vinegar though.
