"Soothing and protecting the skin following minor skin irritations (itching, pain, and discomfort) including poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.
Calamine Lotion is a skin protectant. It works by soothing and protecting the skin."
This has the effect of keeping the affected area from itching and letting you scratch/spread the infection. If the infection is severe, your doctor might prescribe some steroids.

"Poison ivy rash typically goes away on its own within one to three weeks. In the meantime, you can use self-care methods and over-the-counter medications to relieve signs and symptoms. If the rash is widespread or results in a large number of blisters, your doctor may prescribe an oral corticosteroid, such as prednisone. "
One hard lesson learned, leave the affected area open (don't cover with a bandage). The rash is actually caused by the oils...covering the wound just lets the oils sit, build and grow worse as the blisters burst. Also, if the rash is on your hand...be VERY careful when using the restroom....=(
