I have had poisen ivy sence Last Friday and i just got meds for it three days ago it is prendison. it has still benn spreading for those three days. it is half way down my leg and all most all the way up past my nee and all around. Every time i scratch it turns red and looks like a bunch of moskito welps. We found the 4 vines. i like the vine because i have been out of school for the past 4 days. it is my friend now.
Poisen ivy Question. Help!?
Poison ivy doesn't spread. It actually appears at different times on different parts of the body. The hands will show before the leg, because the thickness of the skin. Scratching doesn't spread the rash. But I would try to avoid scratching because it will only make it more itchy and you can get an infection. It is not contagious. Once the urishol oil(this is the stuff that causes the rash) is washed, there is no risk. You just have to wait it out. It can be so unbearable. I know this because I just got over a bad case myself. I toughed it out.
Some things you can do to help to itch is to take benedryl, warm salt baths, use blow dryer on areas on the high heat setting(this actually does help the itch). Tough it out and good luck!
