Thank you for posting this I live in Wisconsin and recently got poison ivy on my arm that internalized before I realized what it was. I will definitely do the longer dose of prednisone to stop this.

Just my two cents hand cleaner with pumice works good to get the oil off

what if it got a child in the face

Apple cider vinegar solution. 1 glass water 2 tbsp Braggs apple cider vinegar really helped with the itching.

Thank you so much!

Holy shit the 6 day pack thing is exactly what I got and at the end of the 6 days I had to go back to the ER because I broke out worse!

Im so surprised theres some doctors out there actually not charging you and giving free advice and diagnosis

Thank you for sharing this information

Thank you so much doctor ❤❤

use hot water it takes away the itch immediately, make it's as hot as you can stand, it literally burns the itch out, so you don't have to scratch it.

The only diy remedy I've found (and I've tried about 12) is hot water, as hot as I can stand it. I know, I know, I read not to do that and that it causes it to spread blah blah blah, but, it worked for me. It completely relieves the itching for 4 or 5 hours. Then I just do it again until it runs its course. Easy peasy.

Have you ever tried plantain slave? I find it helps the itching for a short time.

Kinda sad, because at 15 years old I was a landscaper and got PI regularly. The doctors at the walk in clinic said I need to find a new profession as I got it really bad as I landscaped. I am sure they wont do this anymore because poison ivy is big business for doctors. I went to an allergist that gave me a vial of poison ivy oil and caplets. I had directions with an eye dropper with a number of dropletes each day. For 40 years I never got poison ivy again.

How to spell clobetasol?

I am in poison ivy hell right now and am looking anywhere for help. Thanks for this video

In nature there is always a cure near by. In the case of poison ivy. Tune into “DrGusGreenfield” on UA-cam

where you located doctor?

try soaking in a tub of very warm water and some sulphur. it will start drying it out in no time.

Mix apple cider vinegar with baking soda and soak up a wash cloth with it and scrub the affected areas. Take a hot shower and keep scrubbing. It worked for me.

I got poison ivy from?! The doc gave me prednisone and it made my stomach hurt and my heart act up. I had to give it up. The doc wanted me on the stuff for three weeks.

Doesnt help at all when poison ivy rash looks exactly like a herpes rash

Urgent care only gave me a bottle of prednisone with no tapering. What the heck?

Was hedging my bushes then I think I got one of these on my right calf a week later now its my other calf it does ooze like crazy to thoughts should I go to the doctor I got calamine lotion and cortisone 10 to put on it nothing seems to be gettimg rid of it just keeps spreading

Very clumsy explanation from an MD. Let's say for whatever reason, you can't identify poison ivy and you get exposed to it. Since you can't identify it, then it's automatic that you are going to suffer the results which takes time to manifest itself and by the time it does, YOU STILL don't know that it was poison ivy that caused it. I'm a desert dweller. I can tell you everything you wanted to know about cactus but were afraid to ask. I had recurring nasty, ugly rashes that looked like my skin was melting and finally I figured out it was due to a plant that looked like any other weed to me. THE CURE IS LEARNING HOW TO IDENTIFY THE DAMN PLANT. If you don't learn how to do that then you are going to become a prednisone junkie. It's that simple. Also the doctor knows nothing about the plant, just how to cure the exposure. Poison ivy is fine until you INJURE the plant, then it releases an oil. The oil is in every part of the plant, the leaf, stem, root - EVERY PART. If you don't injure the plant, then you won't get any of the oil on you. If you do, it can be removed by various methods BEFORE the oil gets absorbed by your skin. Etc, etc, etc. I learned all of this on youtube and nothing from this doctor that I didn't already know.

Zanfel

On the money. After finishing the 6-day, 4 mg, 21 pill treatment of prednisone, on the 8th day I see new spots with rash.

I have found OTC Zanfel is very effective against poison ivy rashes (also oak and sumac). It is a paste that you rub into the rash for a few minutes then wash off. I got immediate relief for several hours then repeated. The rash irritation is reduced and starts to heal. It is not inexpensive at $20 -$40 and more per 1 ounce tube. A friend had a bad poison ivy rash on his upper arm last week and I told him to buy Zanfel and he did buy it. The next day I texted him and asked him how it was working for him. His reply ' It's a miracle'.

Hey man that stuff was great

Very helpful, thank you!

Running the itchy area under barely tolerable hot water makes the itch burn. After that, relief for a hour or two. Repeat to get through it. I think the heat stimulates histamines to cause the burning itch. After the histamine is released at once, it has to build up again, so relief? Not sure if the histamine science is true, but this was the only way I found relief from blisters all over my arms. Oil from plain English Ivy gives me the same blistering rash as poison ivy. Maybe really cold water does the same thing, but I found the hot water works better for me. Have rid my property of most ivy now, but I still have to get rid of some. I got severe burns from gathering piles of freshly chopped English Ivy on a hot day with bare arms. I had hacked and handled it for years before the allergic reaction. Now I get burned from any oil contact. Wash thoroughly with a wash cloth and soap if you suspect contact with the oil. Don’t get the water treatment so hot it burns you though!

Poison sumac too?

Thank you❣️

I freaking hate poison ivy. My rash is now swollen and sooooo itchy. Please help🛐🙏🏻

Wash well with DAWN & a WashCloth. It’s an Oil - tough to Remove w/o Scrubbing 🧽 It can Stay dormant on Shoes, Gloves and Clothes up to a year. Wash Off within the First 12 Hours of Contact... can be Very Effective.

Ask a medical doctor to prescribe you Methylprednisolone .

i use calamine lotion and salt mixture helps dry it up

If I get a poison ivy rash, I grind up vit B6 to a very fine powder with a mortar and pestle, then mix to a moist paste with liquid vit E (or olive oil). I rub this into the rash several times daily. Almost immediate relief.

I just want to cut my legs off right now. The itch is awful.

I’m miserable 😩

That's funny, I got it everywhere and the best relief I got was from OTC antihistamines. Couldn't take the Prednisone tablets at all. They made my kidneys ache and drink tons of water. The Clobetasol cream was not very effective either and cost a fortune. I opted for OTC hydrocortisone and would use a tube each day for 3 - 4 weeks. Be patient. It takes several weeks to run its course or even months. Keep the blisters drained and scabs too. Liquid skin bandage helps a bit because clove oil is an anesthetic and an antiseptic. Hot tub soaks also help and coconut oil lotions.

Thank you very informative

The numbing injection has an ingredient that temporarily squeezes shut the blood vessels so less or no bleeding.

Very informative! Thank you. First time having this and I'm miserable!!

It seems a little late in the year...but I have it on my hands. I have always used bleach too and found it to be the best, however, this time I am mixing salt and water. Please with the results. 🤗 It appears I got it from putting on an old pair of gloves. I know for a fact that the last time I used the gloves was over six (6) years ago. Just wondering how long the oils from these plants remains contaminated on other objects.

Use Jewel weed as it grows with it many times. And this is free, you don't need a doctor or to take any drugs. It takes about 1/2 hour to relive the itching and it will kill it in a day or so with no further itch. This is a nature cure and works as I have used it many times. This guy is just trying to sell you something or get you to the doctor as he is a doctor and is how he makes a living. You don't need either one of the things he prescribes, look up Jewel weed, crush the stem and rub the juice on the affected area that's all that's needed.

I was told by my old pediatrician to take a bleach bath this was a severe case it was all over and it sucked ass currently I have it in my eyes and it is driving me insane using rhus tox and it's helping some how I'm trying to find out how and if it really is doing something though my theory is that it's kind of like Anti-Venom

How much prednisone do you start with and how much do you taper?

Does it spread even more if I pop the blisters? I have a big one on my wrist and it’s uncomfortable 😞

Thank you doctor. I am on week 3-4 of my poison oak rash.
