I am extremely allergic to Poison ivy and have tried just about all remedies. I have had blisters the size of quarters all over my legs and other parts of my body, groin being the worst. I have found that using talcum (baby) powder to dry the oils developed by the rash. As most remedies use water as a base and has tendency to spread further. I have slept with socks over my hands when sleeping to reduce unconsciously scratching. I have been able to cut down the length of rash. I always carry talcum powder when I travel and is my remedy.
