    Calamine lotion is a trusted poison ivy cure, and this product costs pennies but is very effective in eliminating the itching even though you may walk around with pink skin during the treatment. A poison ivy rash is the result of the oils from the plant coming into contact with the skin and creating a burn on the surface layers. This will cause the skin to become irritated, blister up, and create an intense itching and burning in your skin. The top layers of skin will die off and peel away because of the contact with the oils, and it takes time for healthy skin to replace the damaged layers of skin.

    Several known, or rumored, poison ivy cures are heat related, whether it is hot water or hot air, because this will dry up the skin and speed up the healing process. Using a blow dryer on the low setting, and blowing the warm air against the affected skin will help to dry out the damaged skin and eliminate it, along with the itching and burning. A hot shower can provide the same benefits and relief, and this will stop the itching for hours after you try this treatment. An oatmeal bath is an excellent treatment for poison ivy, because it will stop the itching while helping your skin.

    Another effective cure, or home remedy, for the associated discomfort and itching is to make a paste from baking soda and water. This paste should be thickly applied to the affected skin to provide penetrating relief and help to dry out the rash, which will eliminate it.
