A member asked:
I have what appear to be two elongated bug bites on the back of my thigh and i'm wondering if i should be concerned, if it's poison ivy.

Possible: You can have a doctor check it to see which it is, You can try some OTC Hydrocortisone cream in the meantime. If the spots are elongated like a scratch then it is more likely poison ivy.
