Cover cover cover! I looked like a walking mummy because I covered my rash first with calamine and then gauze so nothing would brush up against those areas and make it itchy or open any blisters. I also washed everything I came in contact with.... Sheets, towels, clothes, washcloths after every use. I like ivy dry cream, if you can find it. I am extremely allergic so I soooo sympathize with you. My rash was so bad this last time I had to go on prednisone. Good luck and I hope it goes away soon!!! Eta: I had poison oak this last time, not ivy, that's why it got so bad. Also, put ice packs on it if it gets really itchy, it helps a lot!
