I just got poison ivy all over my face. I need something that can dry it out and not cause much damage to my face.
Thanks for the help!

If it is bad or near your eyes or mouth you should get a shot from a doctor which will help a lot. You can take Benadryl to reduce the allergic reaction and use over the counter creams with cortisone. There are some specially formulated with anti itch additions for poison ivy, Ask your druggist which one works best.

Calomine lotion. See adoctor if it gets worse and try not to scratch it. Lanacaine might help for the itch. Important not to scratch.
