Cephalexin isn't the: treatment for poison ivy, so they must be treating you for an infection, in which case i would recommend no smoking or alcohol especially while on meds!

Diagnosed with poison oak on arms and cellulitis on breast. Given prednisone 50mg for 5 days and keflex for cellulitis. Cellulitis cleared up. Poison oak is dried up. Still really red/ itchy. Do I need to give it more time or do I need more pills?
