things are very very shitty for me right now. i have been awake for two hours now, battling poison ivy rashes. the ointment i've been smearing them with is no longer easing the pain enough for me to get back to sleep. do i just need some different ointment, or amidoinitrong, or what? because i will gladly drive to the nearest 24hr pharmacy and get whatever i need if that would help me sleep for just three more hours. pic is how my ass feels

Are you using calamine lotion?

About the only thing that helps skin conditions like this are compounds of zinc oxide. ZO is in calamine lotion and most moisturizing body lotions. It doesn't really help the healing process at all, just fixes the itching and puss.

You say you're "ointment", which sorta makes me think you're putting on shit like Neosporin, which won't really help. Ideally, get calamine lotion (it's a slightly dark pink color), rub it in on your sores, then cover them with gauze.

And, for the love of all that is sacred, don't scratch the shit and then touch other parts of your body, especially your face. Shit spreads like wildfire. If you touch it or go on a scratching binge, THOROUGHLY WASH YOUR HANDS IMMEDIATELY.

This.

Or take a knife and cut the rashes right out of your body. LIKE A MAN.

Next time you fuck with poison ivy use some vinegar where it touched your skin. I'll get rid of the oil before it gets a chance to eat into your flesh. You could give it a shot now, just watch yourself for infections.

Urushiol induced dermatitis is a whore and a half.

Depending on how bad your reaction is, and how large the affected area is, you may want to see a doctor. They can give you a little thing of steroid pills that will help you out.

Other than that, it's one of those things where you can pretty much write off any chance of enjoying the next few days. Just try and keep the area clean and it should go away naturally.

Sorry man.

got oatmeal? make a paste out of it, and put it on.

if you really can't take it, or if you start to freak, just go and get a cortisone shot.
