Ask your doctor or chemists. You've been to a doctor because of your injury. Ask them for medicine against the rashes.

It happened to me as a kid and what worked well to calm the itching was Baking soda + water enough to make some sort of cream/paste that you then apply on the rash.
Take care, I hope you get well soon :(

This is why I don't go outside. I had to walk through the woods once and just got hives. It was fall so there was a lot of pollen in the air. I took a shit ton of anti-histamines and then slept for the rest of the day. Which isn't at all scientific, but I have zero self-control when it comes to itching.

Well I had to throw some big parts of trees into a ravine so It was rather unavoidable :v

One of my kids literally rolled around in a patch of poison ivy. it was all over his body, face, arms legs. we didn't have a bottle of Calamine lotion big enough, so we gave him a bath in Epson's salts. It seemed to help a little, and did at least bring down the swelling.

Welp, two days ago I was throwing some logs down my country ravine (my dad got a bit trigger happy with the chainsaw) that were from various dead trees, and essentially I contracted Poison ivy somewhere in the woods there.
My main deal is that in addition, I heavily bruised my right foot by slipping on mud and dropping a 75+ pound tree trunk on it at an awkward angle. Now on crutches, the Poison Ivy has been upgraded to downright bane of my soul. (Have you tried being on crutches with poison ivy?!?)
My entire right arm is covered in it, my left arm is starting, the right side of my body is starting to show signs to. I'm wearing long-sleeve to prevent me from touching my poison ivy spots, then unaffected spots, along with applying anti-itch creams, and a basic poison-ivy cream. I need other options to DESTROY THIS though because the normal anti-poison ivy ointment isn't working well at all!
Please help me, I'm losing my sanity by not itching.....
