amoxicillin for poison ivy

I don't think I would've taken a chance with the beehive in the first place. I don't know if the poison ivy story is really true, because I have become allergic to wasp stings, so I wouldn't have even attempted to annoy the bees in the first place. That said, I do know that stinging nettles are also used medicinally for allergies. But, you don't have to get stung by the nettles to get the benefits from it. You buy it dried at the herbalist or even the vitamin store.

I have had poison ivy for almost two weeks. Monday since it had spread to my legs from my arms, I went to a doctor. He gave me a shot, some methylprednisol, and other pills for the itch. I'm am waking up at night itching. Also, I'm treating the itch with calamine lotion and other creams for itch. How long does it usually take for the itch to stop. Thanks.

Hello, It can be due to poison ivy or hives. The rash that results from the poison plants is a form of allergic contact dermatitis. Symptoms include redness and itching of the skin, development of rash and sometimes development of blisters from rash. Once it begins, the rash will usually clear on its own by 14-21 days. Treatment is directed at controlling the itching. Apart from oral steroids, You may take oral antihistaminics like benadryl or zyrtec.

I contracted poison ivy a little over two weeks ago. I was prescribed prednisone and completed it after 10 days. I still have areas that are very itchy and irritated. They are now hot and itchy--not as bad as the original case but can his still be active after the prednisone?

I have bruising and poison ivy too. Most of the bruises surround the poison ivy except in oen area and all are on my left leg even though i have plenty of posion ivy every where else. My Nurse Practitioner didn't seem concerned, but if they don't go away in another day or so I'm goin back.

My husband over several years has encountered poison ivy frequently and has always taken him MONTHS to get rid of it. This latest encounter spread to his scrotum and groin. It had originally started over a week ago on his forearm, then spread to other arm, neck, hands and thighs. He states (because he is too embarassed to let me see) that this is the worst by far, his scrotum was enlarged, painful, itching, and hardened plus his groin had also swollen (which we now know was his lymphnodes).

I have an Allergist specialist spcifically for treating my poison ivy when I get it (I work outdoors in the southern US, so I get it frequently). One of the M.O.'s of poison ivy is each time you have a reaction it will be worse than the previous time. There is no way to treat a breakout other then steroids.

the rash looks just like poison ivy, thats why i thought it was, but i dont think its possible to keep getting poison ivy when i live in philly. thanks, and please no joke responses.

s another soap with healing qualities. Fels Naptha has been used for more than a century to clear away poison ivy. It costs about $2 a bar and is still on most grocery and drugstore shelves. Rinse the affected area with water as hot as you can stand, and then wash with Fels Naptha to remove any remaining poison ivy resin.

Has anyone recommended TechNu? It's a miracle worker for poison oak and poison ivy. It's available at the drugstore.

or u.....there r no warts with herpes....they r blisters....were u naked in perhaps poison ivy in the woods?

Check his body from head to toe and everything in between -could be on his scalp- to see if you can find where he was bitten (if he was bitten). I remember learning about Lyme disease a few years back those were common symptoms.

no I have never gotten blood work done for the herpes virus. I have read almost everywhere that a herpes outbreak usually involves fluid filled blisters that burst, become lesions, then heal. This is not what I have experienced at all which is why I am not sure if this is in fact a symptom of a herpes infection. I do work outside and it is very possible that I came in contact with more poison ivy but I know I can't attribute every little bump to poison ivy.

First I notices red spot on my scrotum after having sex. They came and went for a while ( few months) during that period I didn't have sex. Then I met a new girl while giving oral sex she notice a bump on the head of my penis. This was about a week after we first had sex. After a few more weeks I got more. I became itchy similar to a poison ivy itch but not as constant. I itch on my inner thighs, butt, armpits, stomach.

I have a rash on both of my elbows. About a week ago, I had poison ivy on my neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs, but not on my elbows. I was prescribed Kenalog Cream, which reduced the poison ivy to basically scars. I thought I was bitten by a bug on my elbow a couple days later, and it went from looking like a bug bite to looking like the attached picture. Some of the raised, red welts have a small dark mark in the center, some don't.

I burned some cut brush 4 days ago with poison ivy in it. I have no rash as of yet on skin but I do have a sore throat and some slight chest congestion. I’m worried about my lungs and want to know how long before I’m out of danger of a serious reaction.

also i have recently peeled and eaten a mango, which i know can cause poison ivy in rare cases. I personally beleive it is poison ivy because i know what it feels like, and I haven't been sexually active in a while. It also seems to be spreading somewhat quickly and my whole face has begun to itch. the part that is confusing me is that my genitals are now itching somewhat too, so i am a little worried.

I am incredibly allergic to poison ivy and three weeks ago I came into contact with a large amount of it. I have finally healed up after swollen and drippy rashes all over my arms and also in splotches on my hands. All the poison ivy rash has dried up and feels fine. However, three nights ago I woke up in the early morning with unbearable itchiness all over the palms of both hands, on the palm-side of my fingers, and in between my fingers.

I have never had poison ivy before. I have these little tiny bumps, almost blister like, thet itch so bad. i have them all over my knuckles, my neck, the side of my face and my eyelids. I am concerned about my eyelids. the ones all over my knuckles are breaking open and are really starting to hurt. The itching is driving me crazy. There is no relief from it. I have tried non itch cream, iI have this stuff called ivy dry. The itching will not quit.

My 14 yr old just got into poison ivy last weekend. I had to take him for a shot because it got near his eyes, testicles, arm, stomach and back....The Dr in the ER told him cortizone and antibiotics would be the best for him. Maybe call you OB and he can prescribe you an antibiotic that's safe.

hello, i am getting over the same thing plus poison ivy all over my arms and legs, i imagine that i passed it on to my penis and scrotum after clearing my yard and then going to the bathroom right after. i found that gold bond medicated lotion works the best, I wash the area at least 3 times a day and dry do not rub, once dry apply the lotion. works well i also take benadril three times a day, i know when its time to wash and take another dose of benadril once i feel it starting to tingle.

about three weeks ago i caught poison ivy really bad everywhere on my body.Earlier that night i had recieved unprotected oral sex.now the poison ivy is clearing up, but i noticed alot of white bumps on my penis, and it is itching along with my testicles.could the white bumps be cuased by irritation of the skin from the poison ivy, or does this sound like herpes? the dr said they wouldn't test for it unless there was vissible symptoms.

i started to use clobestasol propionate for the poison ivy./rashes on my thighs and it seems to be going away. any help would be sooo appreciated. thanks for taking the time to read this.

2 summers ago, I was at church camp and laid in poison ivy unknowingly at night during a game. Later that night, I woke up to intense itching and looked in the mirror to see what would later turn out to be a very nasty case of poison ivy. This was in early august. It lasted me until the last week of august. Ever since that event, I've had recurring red bumpy rashes that itch pretty badly. It's been two years and these continually pop up in the same places that I had poison ivy on.

I have this spot on my left butt cheek and it hasnt gone away for about a week http://i.imgur.com/CKhCu.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/3He1C.jpg I have some red spots on my upper body in random spots that almost look the same, sort of like poison ivy. This is what the spots on my neck look like: http://i.imgur.com/Ws4nv.
