I had a battle with it all over my body this week, including on my junk, face, and a nasty spot that made my elbow look like the snatch of a prop stop princess.



For treatment, I DO recommend getting a cortisone shot at your Doc's office. I DO NOT recommend spraying with brake parts cleaner. Now ya know fellas.

Not laughing at your infirmity, but your descriptions.

Somebody was either joking with you hardcore or just plain hates you.

How does the cortisone help? I've had poison ivy many times (including once when it covered my face and shut my left eye), but never had a cortisone shot.

If you want +/- 8 hours relief from the itching, assuming the cortisone didn't take care of that, try the hot water treatment.

Don't put Dr. Tichenors antiseptic down there either.

My pops always made us take a Clorox bath as kids when we got red bugs. I remember that shite vividly.

It works, but it's damned unpleasant

I think the brake parts cleaner is for before your body has had a chance to react.
