Question

for when you break out just cause you got stung by the sneaky b@stards like ------->poison oak and ivy really cuz i am gettin sick and tired of bein all itchy from scratchin and gettin little scabs what products do you recommed

Answer 1

yup, calamine. dont know if thats spelled right. but hydrocortozone works too. and benydril makes an anti-itch cream too.

Answer 2

Calamine or caladryl will work - you may also want to try some Benadryl and take a baking soda bath. Another product I've used but I'm not sure is still available is Rhuli-gel.

Good luck -

Answer 3

Calamine lotion defiantly, also an oatmeal bath will help (usually used for chicken-pox) to relieve the itching. Don't scratch - you'll just wind up with a bunch of scars. You can also try Aloe, but that usually works better for sunburns

Answer 4

Epsom salts to take a bath in to help dry out the little suckers.
Baking Soda and Table Salt works well too.
After your bath and drying off. . . don't laugh. . .use Preparation H cream to help the itch.
I recommend the cream verses the ointment as the cream doesn't have that awful smell that the ointment does.
Preparation H is a topical anesthetic which will "numb" the itch.
Until it has run it's course,this will be the fastest relief to your problem.

Answer 5

Calamine lotion certainly helps. If you still feel itchy. Try a bath in baking soda.

Hope that helps!

Answer 6

You can try calamine lotion. You can also try putting some regular oatmeal in a nylon stocking, and taking a bath in the oatmeal water.

Answer 7

Calamine lotion is the very chap for such situations. Try not to scratch, or you will make it worse.

Answer 8

try Ivy dry , My ex used to get poison ivy even in the winter ! thats what he found to be the best . Good luck

Answer 9

Try Ivarest to ease the itching . You probably have to get a steroid from the doctor to get rid of it. Mine didn't go away by itself.

Answer 10

Hydrocortisone

Aveno Oatmeal baths.

Don't scratch.
