Here's a good Wiki How article about treating poison ivy:
http://www.wikihow.com/Treat-Poison-Ivy-and-Poison-Oak

Summary:
1. Take immediate care of your skin: take off and wash your clothes
2. Apply rubbing alcohol. You can apply rubbing alcohol to your skin to dissolve the poison ivy or poison oak oils.
3. Rinse the area with cool water. Never use warm or hot water, as this will open your pores and allow more of the toxins to sink in.
4. Completely clean the area. Regardless of the location on your body, make sure that it was thoroughly rinsed with water.
5. Don't scratch the rash. Even though the rash is not contagious, you could break the skin and allow bacteria to enter the wound.
6. Cool off the exposed area. Apply cold compresses or apply an icepack for 10 to 15 minutes.

I have these dry round circular crator like hard red scabs sore crusty deep itchy will not go away how do i get rid of this and what is this???

how long have you had these? Could it possibly poison ivy? It sounds like it could be as I just went through a season of these on my arm and chest. Do some research on images of ivy and compare. It might be what you have. It took 3-4 weeks to get rid of my itch and a couple more for the redness to go away. If you itch, it could turn infectious like mine and that's another problem.

Boyfriend got poison ivy now im getting it what can we do, seems like it wont go away tried overcounter ointment nothing seems to work

I have that experience. If I walk a few feet from a poison ivy vine I get it. We were burning a fence row one day and I stood in the smoke and got it from the ivy oil that was in the smoke. I even got poison oak which is a little worse than the ivy from an animal I shot and the ivy oil was on its fur. If you have pets you can get it if they run in the ivy. After trying a number if things I ended going to my doctor and he gave me a shot for it and a week or so later it was gone. No it is not contagious but if you and your friend touch each other and you have the watery lumps on either one of your skin you will get it. I was so bad I could not even got to the bathroom myself with out help because of the large watery lumps and yes I did get it on my lower parts. Not much fun.

How to eliminate poison ivy?

Two best ways

Solution A
1) Cover up well or find someone who is not very allergic to Poison Ivy
2) Rip it out
3) Come back and check its not regrowing from missed roots

Solution B
St Gabriels Labs Poison Ivy Defoliant is a natural Herbicide
or the good old death to all living creatures Roundup

Mix a Triple batch of it and once you kill it cover the ground with black plastic to help stop regrowth and be prepared to kill any surviving bits that come up over time

Hope that Helps
