Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi. If it's fungal, bacterial or viral there's a product called Super Silver that would probably help. It works wonders on my athlete's foot among other things. It's a natural anitbiotic. Unfortunately, you can only get it online. I get it from www.ihsite.com. Another thought would be bentonite clay. That should help with all mentioned including poison ivy. You can apply it topically and/or ingest it. If it's itchy and spreading because of scratching it, I used magnezium oil on some eczema I had. It stung when I applied it, but it helped with the itching. Once I stopped scratching it, it quit spreading and went away. So those are some ideas. I hope you get some relief!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Do you use homeopathy? This is the type of thing that a remedy can work really well for...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Homeopathically, rhus tox is a good remedy. And if you want over-the-counter drugs, try some kind of anti-histamine. Though I really would recommend going to a doc in this instance because traveling red lines can = blood poisoning, which can kill you.
