Like Poison Oak; prednisone can shorten the time and reduce itching and swelling, simply requires time for it to go away. Been a long time since I had Ivy but seems like it was 2 weeks for it to disappear. Oak I've gotten every few years. Takes it 2 weeks to go too and seems as if it always is contracted just before a 100f heat wave hits too. No fun.
