Got into some poison ivy or something, 3-4 wks ago. still itching and scratching. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poison Ivy: unless you are reexposing yourself to the Rhus oil from clothing you wore when exposed the reaction should be going away. You may have a secondary infection, or have developed a scratch itch cycle. Contrary to popular belief you can not spread poison ivy by the fluid in the blisters. You need to be seen and treated by your doctor.
