Yeah, a mild detergent usually does the trick for me. But there is a special soap at your local drugstore that specifically breaks down that oil. Technu? Tenchu? Don't remember exactly how to spell or pronounce it but you'll see it on the shelf at walgreens, CVS, etc.
Yeah, lol....sounds like you were begging for poison ivy.
The rash can look different on all parts of your body, like i get itty bitty tiny blisters in the finger webbing, huge puss-filled ones on my forearms, and it just looks like hives or mosquito bites on the outsides of the elbows or tops of knees. and as i understand it eveyone's looks a little different. So even when we say it doesn't look like it, we could all be very wrong. My physician doesn't believe me that that's what i have sometimes when i ask for the roids, and asks for a second opinion. But the dermatologist at this point has learned that when he sees my name on the appt list, get the roids ready...thats what the problem is.
