Those who react to poison ivy by developing a skin rash are also very likely to develop similar symptoms from coming into contact with poison oak or poison sumac. When a person is “sensitized” to poison ivy’s oils — the skin touches the oils and enters the immune system, causing a histamine response — a form of dermatitis develops on the skin. In about 15 percent of people, this reaction becomes very severe.
Information about poison ivy, oak, sumac and the skin rashes they cause
Kenalog-40 is a steroid medicine that is used to treat many different types of inflammatory conditions, including severe allergic reactions, skin disorders, severe colitis, inflammation of the joints or tendons, blood cell disorders, inflammatory eye disorders, lung disorders, and problems caused by low adrenal gland hormones.
Methylprednisolone (Medrol) works well to control allergic reactions and conditions involving an overactive immune system. It can quickly make you feel better, but it might also cause side effects if you use it for a long time.
When your skin touches poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac, you develop an itchy rash. The rash is actually an allergic reaction to urushiol, a plant oil. You can also develop a rash from touching oil-contaminated objects, such as gardening tools, clothes or a pet’s fur. You can protect yourself by avoiding the plants.
When you break out in a poison ivy rash, the itching and burning it causes is not fun! See the homemade poison ivy paste recipe below.
