Poison ivy, scabies: Lots of possibilities here and difficult without actually seeing the rash and asking a few questions. Best over the counter treatment for poison ivy is Zanfel as directed. Best over the counter treatment for Scabies is NIX (permethrin) or RID.

Not enough info: you need to be examined, without a visual of your rash and physical exam, no conclusions can be drawn, please see your doctor, take care
