It goes away by itself after a while. Poison ivy spreads through its oils. You have to wash all his bedding and clothes that came in contact with the poison ivy and his skin. When you know someone touched poison ivy, the first thing you have to do it get them in the shower and their clothes in the washing machine! Even if a ball rolled through poison ivy, you can get the rash by touching the ball. (even if you never went near the plant!)

You can try an oatmeal bath to help with the itchiness. There is also a homeopathic remedy that's great for the itchiness. I think it's called Rhus Tox but I would advice asking someone who knows to make sure.
