Washington Homeopathics Poison Ivy Pills!\nIf you have never heard of these pills, They are a MUST BUY!\nTrust me, I have spent numerous dollars in the past, and tried all kinds of "so called cures" to rid myself of the pain, itch and suffering. I Even tried soaking my inflamed area's in Oatmeal baths. Buy these pills, not only will they help you prevent getting the rash, they also make the rash go away, if you in fact, you already have Poison oak/ivy \nIt is the only way to go!

Pure aloe vera is very good. So is Solarcane. If you have bad blisters or the chills, you may want to see a doctor.

Try some topical benedryl. The cream you can buy at the drug store. Sounds like an allergic reaction

To relieve itching and help blisters dry out, apply wet compresses or soak the area in cool water. Antihistamine pills or calamine lotion may help relieve symptoms. To prevent infection, try not to scratch the rash and cut your fingernails short to minimize the possibility of opening the skin and spreading bacteria.

You cannot go and see a doctor up there? I would try baby lotion, or something that obsorbs well. My sister used a lotion called cetaphor or something like that, her dermatologist said she should use it. She has eczema really bad on her arms and legs.  But I would highly recommend that if you are in the water don't stay in there to long, especially if it is salt water, this will dry it out more. Regular, cool water should be soothing if you have eczema, but don't stay in it to long. That lotion really worked for my sister.\n\nIf you are in a climate that is more humid than that can also help with the flare ups.\n\nYou can try something called "wet wraps". This is a treatment for eczema. Wet wraps are often made from articles of clothing that have been soaked in water. \nApply wet wraps to skin after soaking and sealing, and after applying any topical medicine. The wraps help keep skin moist and increase absorption of medicine. They also have a cooling effect. Re-wet or take the wraps off when they start to dry out.\n\n\nHope this helps. I know you said that when it gets wet it makes it worse, but this is a normal treatment, and you can get medicine to help with the rash.\n\nI to have mild eczema on my upper arms. Sometimes it can itch like crazy but its gotten better since I have been paying attention to it.\n\nGood Luck!

Have you tried capsaicin cream? This is a hot pepper cream that is used for arthritis pain when applied to the joints. It can also be used for intractable itching. Apply a small amount every eight hours. The first couple times you will feel heat for about 20 minutes. After 5-6 regular applications you will no longer feel any heat and you will notice your itching is gone. When you get to this point only a single application might be necessary to keep your itch from coming back. My dermatologist told me this option and it works great for severe itching. Capsaicin is available OTC from the pharmacist if you don't see it out on the shelf.\n\nBTW-You probably have dermatitis or eczema. It is very common for dermatitis or eczema symptoms like itching to begin as the skin drys out in the fall and winter.\n\nhttp://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/488914_3\n\ngood luck

Need to keep your skin clean, and change sweaty clothes ASAP. Chafed skin invites the infection, then comes the prickly heat. Don't let your clothes rub on your skin, find clothes that wick moisture away. Special sport clothes can be pricey, but if your problem keeps recurring, it might be worth it.

Try a diaper rash cream. Thats what I use when I get irritated and it works. Desitin or it's generic is best.

If its been there for 1-2 weeks i would get it checked at the doctor.  You might need a hydrochoridisone cream, that will stop the inflammation and itching.  It could be a sweat/heat rash or an allergic reaction to a washing powder or soap?

I dont know what "it" is that is telling you not to put anything on... so lets ignore that.\nFirst of all. Begin drinking water. You need lots of fluids to help heal your skin. Don't drink alot of pop or things containing caffine. Water is the best. Use lotion. Something with aloe is best. In the future try to keep some aloe vera gel in the refrigerator and use it often when you are burned... for any kind of burn and you will be glad you did. Try not to wear constricting clothes or anything with straps that will irritate your skin. If you can go to the store get some aloe gel, if you can't find that use something that has collodial oatmeal in it. Even suave has that for 2 bux. You will appreciate that when it begins to itch in a few days. Good luck and use sunscreen next time.

sounds like a nasty allergic reaction....\n\ndon't apply anything to your face-this includes allergy creams like hydrocortisone or benadryl creams. they could actually make the rash worse.\n\ntake oral bendadryl tablets. 1-2 of the 25mg tablets every 6 hours but no more than 4 doses in 24 hours.\n\nif after 24 hours of using the benadryl-the rash is still present and your face is still burning-then make an appt to see your dr. you might need antibiotics to get rid of the rash-sometimes allergic reactions are so severe, only antibiotics can treat them\n\nin the future don't use the zest again and you might want to check the label and compare it with other soaps-if they have the same ingredients then it's probably best to avoid them as well. i've found dove and ivory to work best on faces-they don't contain harsh perfumes or dyes and won't irritate your skin

Its razor burn ...DONT use anti itch cream, you will hit the ceiling.  Also dont use any perfumed products as that will further irratate the skin.  Use any cream designed for nappy rash, that really is the best thing to use.

I would recommend going back to the Certain Dri.  However, you should use some lotion like hydrocortizone if you get the rash again.  I would also recommend not using too much Certain Dri and maybe just use it every other day.  I have been using the stuff for over ten years and it has been really good if I use it in moderation when my skin gets tender.

Sorry can't help you with that, I've never worn one, but I suggest using a new, sterile one, and getting that rash checked out.  Perhaps buy a smaller, or bigger, one so it doesn't rub or irritate the skin.  But what do I know, I'm a girl!

Take oral Bendryl to relieve the itching. Calm the rash by washing it with cool water and patting it dry with  a clean soft cloth. Apply 1% hydrocortisone cream, and dab on a light layer of Caladryl lotion. Do not scratch! If you do not get relief in a day or two, or if the rash spreads to your face, consult a physician immediately.
