Call or talk to a Pharmacist or Doctor. They usually have great advice on creams or lotions. I think time is the best cure if it is anything like poison ivy.

Call your doctor. There is an oral medication that you can take. It is dangerous and requires quick treatment if it is around your nose, eyes, or mouth. You don't want to to spread to those areas. I'm not sure what the medication is called, but it is similar tot he Z-PAC that you take for 5 days. My mom takes it everytime she gets poison ivy, becasue the creams do nothing for her.
