Suggest Cream For Bruises Around The Waist Caused By Poisonous Plant
Hi. I am a 48 year old female. I was working out in my yard last week cutting grass and believe i may have gotten into poison ivy, however, it only appears around my waist, but not on stomach. I have applied hydrocortozone creme to it and it does relieve the itching somewhat but it is worse at night. Today I have bruises all around my waist, what would cause this?

Hi,
Poison ivy contact will be associated with rash and itching. For this you can take cetirizine tablet daily once which is available as over the counter. For applying locally you can use Lotion with combination of Calamine and Diphenhydramine.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
