I just got poison ivy last week and it crept everywhere. Used all kinds of creams, got some meds from the doctor....nothing worked. Talked to my daughter and she said to dab some pure bleach on it. So I did and it dried it up asap. Later that day, I was with some of my friends who live in a rural area and they said 'bleach it'. I used a cotton swab and put the bleach directly on each spot, I did not just bathe in the bleach. Be very careful of your clothing etc. My arms and hands are now clear of the poison ivy.
