Best thing to do is #1 DO NOT SCRATCH.

The other, isn't a home remedy, but my daughter (12) is using it right now for poison ivy is Calamine Lotion. Just dab it on and it stops itching and dries it up. Very inexpensive and does not have to be taken orally.

You may try a making a paste with baking soda, but the calamine works faster.

You could also try the oatmeal bath method to try to reduce the itching. And no, I'm not suggesting that just because the image of someone swimming in breakfast is funny to me
