I don't know if you can find it outside of the deep South, AFVG, but if you can find it the old Octagon soap is the best thing in the world for poison ivy. Just wet the soap and rub it on the rash and don't rinse it off. It will dry it up almost overnight. There's another brand I think it's called Fells Naphta or something close to that which works almost as well.

I've heard of Octagon soap. I will go look for it in the morning and try that. Anything that will clear this up quickly will be so appreciated!
I took an 'oatmeal' bath and it helped some, then I slathered Caladryl all over and it feels better. I think it's manageable till the morning. Just gotta keep from scratching! Grrrrrrrrrrrr
Thanks, Nan.
