Zanfel and Domeboro worked the best for me. Zanfel scrub removes the oil from poison ivy. Domeboro, mixed with warm water, then applied through washcloth compresses (launder in hot, soapy water), gave relief to itching. It acts like an astringent and has antibacterial properties too. It's very soothing! I found out about Domeboro at the urgent care when I had a terrible case of poison ivy. The doctor said it would help more than any prescription or over the counter remedy and he was right. I've been a gardener all my life and never had issues with poison ivy until I turned 55! I've tried many rememdies, but Zanfel and Domeboro are the best! I keep Zanfel and Domeboro on hand at all times!
I have used Domboro for years. Prednisone wouldn't work and domboro did.
