A member asked:
My husband got poison ivy 2 few weeks ago. rash started on legs. after taking steroids keeps spreading all over body... is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contaminant: There is likely still resin present on some of the clothing or articles (shoes, car mat etc) in the house thus keeps on causing the problem. Be sure to clean up everything your husband had contact with on the day he got the poison ivy. Dishwashing or laundry soap works well. (wear gloves and discard after use).
