A member asked:

What i thought were mosquito bites continue to persist after 5 days. i think i may have come into contact with poison ivy. what is best otc meds to take or should i go to the doctor? benadryl and hydrocortisone are not doing the trick. advice please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plant dermatitis: Plant dermatitis like poison ivy will best respond to oral steroids for a 3 week course. You should get the rash looked at to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate therapy.
