How do doctors tell if a poison ivy rash is healing or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blisters resolved: Most people initially get swelling or itching at the place of contact within hours then in the next weeks (1-3 weeks) they may have blister forming that then resolves. If you have poison ivy but you may have scratched it because of the intense itching, you may now have a skin infection and no longer poison ivy.
