haha this was just asked i thought.  I get the same problem on my upper arms bro, coco butter lotion W/ vitemin E twice a day when you get up and when you go to sleep every day.  It will take the color out of the marks and if they're smaller make em heal away.

Vinegar will help take the sting out of a sunburn or you can use coffee grounds. For modern days now use Alvera lotion

Rest, tylenol for the pain, benadry/caladry for the itching and dont scratch. It will leave big scars all over you. Good luck! Stay out of the sun, will make the breakout worse. Aveeno baths help also. I thought it was bad when I got them at the age of 12.

I use an australian plant named "radium", the other name is milkweed. It works wonders, you put it on the skin lesion twice a day for a week, and it should be completely removed. It may sting a little at times, but you'll be glad for the removal, and it leaves the area very clean (as long as you do it until the lesion falls off. :)

You must go to dermatologist....Maybe your hands and your skin  are sensitive with some ingredient s in soap or something like that....(shower gel,or cream,etc.)....I think that is probably allergy...

Put some ice on it.  That will help soothe it.  If the skin is damaged try some Neosporin.

Use a mixture of essential oils of peppermint, helichrysum, clove, wintergreen, lavader, and euclyptus. These all have pain numbing effects that can be used in long timeframes without any negative side effects. Additionally if you have bad muscle tension this will helpwith that too, this mixture doesn't only numb pain but it helps achieve a balnce in your muscular system so you heal up whats causeing the pain. Also if youend up being sensitive to the oil mixture wash it off with olive or almond oil, DO NOT USE WATER!!! Water pushes the oil further into the skin where as the vegetable oils will dilute them. Its rare to have reactions, but if you do use less of the oil or dilute it before application with either of the before mentioned vegetable oils. Hope this works for oyu.

There are so many over the counter remedies that I hesitate to tell you my old fashioned one...my grandmother used to crush a pansie blossom between her fingers and rub it on a poison ivy spot.  About half the time it would go away.  There is a product called "dermarest" poison ivy mousse that is wonderful for not only controlling the itching but also drying the site up.  It is over the counter and available at most pharmacies.

Drink more water, switch to moisturizing soaps and get an extra strength hand moisturizer.\n\nDid I mention drink more water? And, oh yeah water is good too. ;)

Likely some sort of contact dermatitis.  Use some cortisone or Benedryl cream.  If that doesn't help, see a doctor.  Did you start using a new soap or lotion - that may be the reason.  Or you've suddenly developed an allergy.

Try Aloe Vera creams and lotions.

Please see a dermatologist.  There are great treatments now.  You want to avoid as much scarring as possible.  Forget the lemon juice or OTC things.\n\nYou need aggressive treatment.

Throw it out, now!!!!  You are obviously having a dangerous reaction to the product.\n\nCheck with your doctor on something that would be less intrusive.\n\nBest of luck!

First of all, is it Poison Ivy or Poison Oak?  Poison Ivy is East Coast, Poison Oak West Coast.  From my experience Poison oak is worse.\n\nOnce you have the reaction it is just a waiting game, and doing the best you can keeping it from getting worse.\n\nSome people say that if you know that you were exposed but haven't shown any reaction yet, you should take a shower and wash with a soap that drys out your skin.  Contrary to popular belief the temperature of the water you shower with is not important.  You should do this whether you are showing a rash or not. \n\nAlso be very careful with the clothes and equipment you were wearing when you were exposed, they should be cleaned right away and dealt with carefully because one can contract the reaction from these items. \n\nIn fact what you are suffering from is an allergic reaction.   The ooze and rash are your bodies way of dealing with the oils of the plant.  Yes benadryl is a good choice, but I wouldn't use the cream; take the pill form.  Not only will the benadryl bring down the reaction, but it will also prevent the next time you are exposed from being a worse reaction.  Some people say that you build up an immunity to it if you are exposed regularly, this is not true.  In fact the opposite is true!  It gets worse with each exposure.  \n\nThe cream you should use is Calamine lotion. Some people with sensitive skin are allergic to Calamine lotion as well so watch to see if it gets worse.  If so discontinue use.\n\nAgainst popular belief once the oils have been cleaned off the reaction can't be spread to other people or other parts of the body.  If you see it spreading it is because that area was all ready exposed before you cleaned off the oil.  Sometimes though the allergic reaction gets worse and looks like it is growing in surface area, this is not because it is spreading but because your immune system is stepping up the "attacks".\n\nIf you have problems with the Calamine lotion don't use anything.  Take your benedryl, wash it with drying soap, keep it dry, and expose it to air.  In a week or two it will go away.  \n\nBut be warned, some people get a very bad reaction a person could theoretically die from!  So if it gets worse and worse go to the doctor immediately.\n\nGood luck.
