This sounds gross but it works. I'm extremely allergic to poison ivy. This was my grandfather's cure. When blisters appear pour rubbing alcohol over the area. Then with a table knife, scrape open the blisters. douse again with alcohol and rub table salt into open blisters. The process burns like blazes but the itch is gone and by next day its 'dried up and no spreading.
