Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, about 10 days ago I had some poison ivy vines get tangled around my ankles. Since then I ve tried Ivarest 5 days, no difference, so then I tried Cortizone cream and am also taking Bendryl tablets, still no help. Its spread all across both ankles and half way up shins, red, swollen and itchy. Help! What else can I do to get rid of it?
Treatment of hives may be difficult some times and it needs systemic treatment not just local one to recover. I think you have to take also tablets of cortisone besides Benadryl.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gjustina Loloci, Allergist and Immunologist
