I have found that taking a warm shower and washing the infected areas with dish soap, then applying grain alcohol (or Everclear 180 proof) with cotton balls, will completely get rid of the contact dermatitis within hours of applying it. If there is a trace of it left, apply the alcohol again the next day and it should be completely gone. I break out severely from it.
As a laboratory technician working in spirits manufacturing, I discovered this one day by using the pure grain alcohol that we used when making spirits or booze. It got rid of my contact poison ivy breakouts within hours. Now every time I'm out gardening and grab hold of poison ivy when pulling weeds or just brushing up against it, I do this and it is completely gone. My spouse, parents and friends also say it works for them.
