Ok, my Ob told me I could use Cortizone for itching.....My 14 yr old just got into poison ivy last weekend. I had to take him for a shot because it got near his eyes, testicles, arm, stomach and back....The Dr in the ER told him cortizone and antibiotics would be the best for him. Maybe call you OB and he can prescribe you an antibiotic that's safe. Plus the Cortizone is ok during pregnancy

Thanks.

I tried to call my OB yesterday, but they closed early for some reason. I even called the local hospital and spoke to an OB nurse. She told me I could use Benadryl and also, Aveeno Bath. I don't like the idea of taking an oatmeal bath.lol. So far, it is just on my neck, my dh says it is drying up, but that he doesn't know if it is poison ivy or not. If I still have it on Monday I'll ask my OB what she thinks and to give me something for it if possible.

Thanks for your replies.
