How Long Does Allergic Reaction Caused By Poison Ivy Take To Get Cured?

I have poison ivy badly and am allergic to oral prednisone. I was prescribed betamethosone dipropionate and have been taking Benadryl here and there , as well as using calamine lotion , alcohol , oatmeal baths and special soap. How long will this take to go away? It's been a little over a week now

Hi,

It will get settled by one or two weeks. You can consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist for long.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
