Question about coconut oil and poison ivy

[Guest guest]

I've been reviewing the information on sites like webmd and poisonivy. org, but

haven't really found an answer to this question. So, I thought perhaps someone

here might have an opinion or theory.

 

This is only my second bout with poison ivy, so I don't have much experience

with this issue. The first case, a couple of years ago, was a walk in the park

compared to this time. It's been two weeks and I'm still breaking out in new,

large, swollen rashes. I don't know where or when, exactly, I came in contact

with the plant, but if my theory is correct then the oil was probably tracked

through the car as well as the house. In other words, it's possible that I'm

having on-going contact with the poison ivy oil yet have no idea where it is or

how to kill it.

 

I've been treating the rash with the usual techniques: calamine lotion, an

over-the-counter anti-itch cream, a paste of baking soda and water prior to

showering, and ice packs. Because of the rash, however, I temporarily stopped

using moisturizer. When I realized my skin had become so dry that it had that

powdery look to it, I used the extra virgin coconut oil as a moisturizer. Now,

I'm wondering if perhaps it was a mistake to use oil when the rash is originated

by another oil. I did use the oil over effected and non-effected areas because

of the severity of the dryness even though I realize the goal is to dry-out the

rash. I chose oil instead of a moisturizer because when my resistance is down I

tend to have an allergic reaction to over-the-counter moisturizers.

 

What do you think? Did I do nothing more than possibly help to spread the rash?

If so, any other suggestions?

 

Thank you.

Take Sulfur 30, a homeopathic remedy, to antidote the Poison Ivy and soothing

the rashes. Take care of bee sting during this condition in which you are.  You

may take Coffea cruda 3x if above remedy may not be managed.

Have you done homeopathic Rhus Tox yet? It should really help.

I use a drop of Lavendar E/O and a drop of Tea Tree, it dries up the weeping and

stops the itch!

hi-i live in australia and don't know anything about poision ivy, however what

i've read so far i would like to offer  some advice which __-may or may not be

of benefit-but  the skin of a paw paw is very good  for weeping sores and is

cool and soothing-unsure how it would go with the itch-but it is worth a try.

one can purchase paw paw ointment but try the skin  first-at least you'll get

to  eat some yummy paw paw
