Poison Ivy On Penis With Swelling. Using Benadryl And Calamine Lotion. How To Treat This?
Hello XXXXXXX,
Poison ivy causes irritant contact dermatitis.
Application of calamine and Benadryl wont help much.
Please apply hydrocorisone cream twice daily, also give him tablet avil (anti histamine)
This will control the allergy.
To decrease the swelling, dip a piece of cotton in normal saline and apply over his penis let it be there for 15 min. Do this three times in a day, he will get relief.
Thank you

Hello,
Epsom salt bath can be given.
Ya it can spread, as I mentioned It is a contact dermatitis, but it should only affect your fingers with which you touched, anyhow to be on safer side, it will be better that you too take an anti histamine tablet.
