Okay as someone who is allergic to poison ivy and basically gets it by staring at it—
1. Shower, pat yourself dry and put the towel in the wash.
2. Go to the store, get an oatmeal bath packet, and calamine lotion (you'll find it in with all the poison ivy stuff), and a big thing of apple cider vinegar.
3. Take an oatmeal bath, when you get out pat yourself dry.
4. once dry, put the apple cider vinegar all over the infected area and let that dry.
5. once that's dry put the calamine lotion on and veg out.
Do not scratch it for the love of god. The shower gets the oils off your skin, the oatmeal bath will help with the oils already in your skin. The vinegar helps dry out the infected area, which will help with itching and also help your body get rid of the rash. The calamine lotion also helps dry out your skin but also will help with the itchiness. God speed.
