Question
I have had poison ivy for 5 days now, i have tried caladryl, calamine lotion, cool baths, cortizone, prednisone, and ice packs. please tell me what can cure the itching, and ultimately the rash.

Answer
Hi Mark
This is a medical problem and I am not an MD. I suggest you consult a Dermatologist. There are too many screwy people on the internet to ask for medical advice here.

So I refuse to break the law and practice medicine without a license and you give me a low rating What sense does that make? You shuld have not given any rating at all
