There is a fruit that grows twice a year in South East Asia that has helped millions of people for centuries with problems such as Eczema, Inflammation,Poison Ivy and Poison Oak. It's called the Mangosteen Fruit. The most popular and the highest in quality in brands is XANGO.

Their website is www.xango.net . Over 600,000 people have been exposed to this company since it's doors opened in 2002.

I was recommended to try a cream called Appalachian Secrets. It is half the cost of zanfel and works faster. I think they are only located in the south.

for 50 years I've been having outbreaks about every few years and the best treatment so far is to get a cortizone shot followed by a 6 day prescription of Methylprednisolone. For the itch I also take maximum strength benadryl. I shy away from creams and ointments since they can spread the infection.Use Benadryl Spray Extra Strength It goes on cool and feels like a light coat of hairspray on you.It gives a barrier that keeps the poison from spreading.
If you follow these suggestions you will see the infection start to scab over in 3 days. Avoid hot water or hair dryers anything hot will open pores and cause the infections to seap.Wash all clothing and bedding daily.Take lukewarm to cool showers when needed.Avoid heat or sweating.
This is from 50 years of expierience with being extremely alergic to these plants and vines.
