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!

I did finally go to an urgent care center after work and she prescribed prednisone. While I was getting it filled, I picked up Ivarest and this really awesome scrub. Tecnu Extreme Medicated Poison Ivy Scrub. It says it works in 15 seconds and it did!. It felt really good ...Almost orgasmic!
