I've had it for about a week now, I've kept the outbreak from getting too bad but it still itches so bad, and I have it EVERYWHERE. On my face and lips, I have a patch in my ear, on my dick, all over my hands and arms, everything is suffering. I already washed myself with dish soap so it's not spreading anymore but goddamn if this isn't hell

Calamine lotion, a couple benadryl, a tylenol or two and a warm bath occasionally. That and time to allow the toxin to work it way out.

Im one of those freaks who does not really get affected by the stuff. I do a decent bit of back country hiking in areas just lousy w poison ivy/oak and dont really need worry about rashes. I get them occasionally but they typically disappear within an hour or two, if i get them at all. I learned this back in boyscouts when i was very young.
