Betamethasone dipropionate cream is a topical corticosteroid that is commonly used for treating allergic reactions to poison ivy and other similar plants. It works by depressing the formation, release, and activity of different cells and chemicals that cause swelling, redness, and itching.

I suppose it might work differently for everyone, but in the event that it doesn't work as well as intended, you may want to consider some natural options. I ended up finding several types of natural poison ivy treatments on Google, if you're open to any suggestions?
