Poison Ivy

Dr Gott said "over-the-counter products, gauze pads dipped in alcohol and a host of other things, but found the best thing to be Ivy Wash, which was available at her local independent pharmacy. When I looked at the packaging, I noted it contains natural jojoba and glycerin that may have provided the relief in a more soothing manner.

One home remedy you might also consider is a paste of white vinegar and baking soda applied to affected areas. My recommendation is that you give one of these two suggestions a try before asking your physician for a steroid."
