Question: What's the best way to get rid of poison ivy? I'm taking an anti-histamine and using topical anti-itch creams, but I would like to clear up my poison ivy the fastest way possible.  Any suggestions?

Answer: Just got over the worst case. The doctor gave me some type of 6 day packet of steroid medicine. Worked like a charm. It was terrible after 2-1/2 weeks, still spreading & with 4 days, no problem. He said calamine lotion was useless but the Bentdral extra strength would help with itching - not enough for me. The steroids did the job.
