What do you recommend for a severe case of poison ivy on my face, hands, arms, neck, chest, buttocks, groin area? I went to a local old doctor, he gave me a shot of prednisone, and a packet of prednisone take 6 pills then 5 pills 4 pills etc until gone.....it is not helping, I have dealt with this for a week now, and can hardly take any more, I have a hair brush using it to scratch in between my fingers right now. It s driving me to the point of no return. ....
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. You received a severe poison ivy effect. Prednisolone won't make any effect on it, I advise you should take either dexamethasone or injection steroids. This will nullify the effect of poison ivy. You should also take the definite tablet 200 mg three times a day, pantoprazole two times a day, under your doctors' guidance. Application of the calamine lotion over the skin prevent Chat Doctor.  This can help treat the wound. Avoid direct sunlight exposure to skin. Cover the skin while you are out with the cotton clothes. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
