Yeah, I had poison ivy once and had the same thing where the more you scratched the more it spread. A pharmacist told me to use hydrocortisone, oatmeal baths, and calamine.

When the cortisone wears off and the itching get bad try applying a cold wash cloth on it to see if that helps at all

@mommys.girl, that's what I'm using now, it's soothes it for a short while then right back to itching

@kelcyfreese, yes, it itches like holy hell. He said that all I can really do is just put hydrocortisone on it, but if I scratch it it'll continue to spread. It gets even more irritated because of the hot weather

hydrocortisone cream might help as well as what @kelcyfreese said

Does it itch? I've come to realize calamine works for all itching. Or maybe try an Aveeno oatmeal bath.
