A member asked:
Is it normal for a poison ivy rash to weep clear, slightly yellow fluid? what is the fluid made of? how long does the weeping stage usually last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, that is quite: common. The fluid, called serous fluid, is the fluid that results from inflammation of the layers of the skin. It is not an indication of infection, as patients sometimes think. This usually lasts anywhere from a few days to 2 weeks if untreated. I would recommend seeing your doctor, who may be able to prescribe a topical or oral steroid to speed up the healing process.
