Ugh, Poison Ivy

[ramanth]

My dad is going through his second outbreak of poison ivy this summer. He washes his arm with mild soap, then applies a cream the doctor gave him, then wraps his arm with gauze and then covers the gauze with a sock (by cutting a hole in the end to put his hand through).

If I get poison ivy, I have to go to the doctor for shots.

Pat it sounds like you've gotten some pretty good advice. I really hope it works wonders for you and you don't have the itchies any more
