Holy crap! P. Oak (ivy & sumac also) is THE DEVIL!! I have had this crap (current at the tail end of a 9 day spell with it) at least once, to as many as many months per year, for the last 20 years. I work & play a lot in the woods. I've had severe cases... as-in 100% coverage to my body, as well as the current dose to my hands/wrists/waistline/genital­s. The best thing that I have found, for temporary relief from the miserable itch, is SUUUUPER hot showers.  Aside from that... it's steroid

@rage250 Sounds like you may need to adopt a daily wash with Tecnu to get that oil off before your rash starts. Visit our site at teclabs.com, go to contact us, and we can send you samples to try.

@tdubklein5 That is correct

I've had poison oak 3x in my life and just recently, like around 3 months ago. All of which were serious cases. I broke out almost entirely of my body, including my genitals. I used Zanfel which worked okay, but the best system I used to deal with the god awful feeling was 3 to 4 scolding hot showers a day. I'm serious. You see, every time you take a scolding shower it peaks the itch to euphoric levels where when you're done, the itch completely stops for hours on end. Repeat when necessary.

@LesiureBoy Some people find that Zanfel can be a costly solution. There are other options available and different tactics work for different people depending on their skin's sensitivity. However, I'm glad you found a solution that works well for you...

@plumcrazypurp Many people try to avoid prescription steroids unless absolutely necessary. Your doctor will advise when such measures are needed. And if you know how to identify and clean the oil off your skin before an outbreak you can possibly avoid having to go through a misery of a rash.

[plumcrazypurp]

the absolute best thing to treat a poison ivy rash is the steroid prednisone, go to a doctor and get a prescription for it. i have a couple times and it completely clears up the rash in less than a week, nothing will work faster or better than this.

@thunderhead79 Yes, urushiol in the amount that can fit on the tip of a pin can start a full blown rash - depending on how sensitive you are of course.

[thunderhead79]

can even the slightest rub against your skin get the resin?
