technu works wonders
so does ivyblock (as a preventative)
my 15yr old reacts badly to ivy.
Just scratching does not spread it.
It can cause it to open and get infected.
It can appear to spread because the reaction can be enhanced. Also, if you have not cleaned off the oils you can cross contaminate and in a sense "spread" it.
However, the spreading is because you still have the oil around and did not clean properly. It is NOT becuase you scratched.
If you have the oil on your clothes (boots/gloves) you can get it again days later.
It takes 20 minutes to be absorbed but it can take 2 days to show up. So, after first contact - clean up with cool water and some bleach or technu.
follow the directions exactly. (wash twice or more as directed).
wash contaminated clothing promptly.
if it gets real bad call doctor they will decide if a prescription steroid is needed to resolve it.
