2 three weeks i fear and im on the steriod pills and cream. its been 9 days since first rash and blisters appeared. 16 days since i first came in contact with the plant. i like useing the medicine from the drug store called Domebore -astringent solution,it come in 12 packets u mix with reaalll cooolld water and soak on rash areas with a soft cloth .. keep ringing out gauze or paper towels in solution and reapply on rash . it seems to help dry up blisters faster . then i slather aveeno anti-itch cream all over to sooth. It has something in it to dry weepy sores that just plain calimine(sp) doesnt.15 bucks for the domebore and 9 bucks for the aveeno but i swear by both.dont forget its not catchy or will it spread from blisters .but you still might have more come up from the original contact from the oil of the plant but the body absorbed slower there. Good luck and dont scratch the skin is so sensitive ,it will take longer to heal.
