i need help with poison ivy! I got it all over my hands and neck! anyone know a good way to make it disappear fast and stop the itch?

Tons of calamine lotion... apply it several times a day soak a cotton ball and dab, resoak and dab... only way to get rid of it is to draw it out of there man... if you do it like 4-5 times a day at the very bare minimum it'll go away faster... just gotta' do it as much as you can.

I hear you, I got a bad case of it like ten years ago, all up and down my legs, crotch, chest, neck, face, it was everywhere, I bought stock in calamine lotion I looked like a walking pink weeble wobble... first few days it won't seem like it's working just keep it soaking with calamine... relief comes and I know it's itching bad bad bad...

Cortisone based creams wll usually help. If it's really bad an MD can given you injections for the itching

Make some oatmeal to dip your hands in and rub on your neck. That will really help it look better and clear it up quicker as well as ease some of the itching.

If nothing else works, the doctor can give you steroids. Caution: The ones that alleviate poison ivy can also make you think like the Hulk.
