What does posion ivy look like?
Sounds like it could be. Check the following link I left under sources for pictures of it and more info





Itching (pruritus) of the skin in exposed areas


Skin redness or inflammation in the exposed area


Tenderness of the skin in the exposed area


Localized swelling of the skin


Warmth of the exposed area (may occur)


Skin lesion or rash at the site of exposure


Lesions of any type: redness, rash, papules (pimple-like), vesicles, and bullae (blisters)


May involve oozing, draining, or crusting


May become scaly, raw, or thickened
Reply:like a rash and if you itch it you can spread it it can have little spots too you would love oatmeal lotion or a bath in oatmeal. also good for chicken pox.(you could get shot now a day) for chicken pox.
Reply:Look it up on Wikipedia. They will have the answers.
Reply:I would give you a 99.99% on poison Ivy my friend and it sounds like you have a pretty good case. You may have to go to an ER for treatment.


Try not to itch, I know it's hard, you'll only spread it. Don't break the blisters if you can.


Make sure you wash the clothes you were wearing, they'll spread the poison from the clothes., don't touch things, your spreading it. Get someone to get you Lot's of Calamine lotion and put that on, Lot's of it.


Wash your hands every time you touch it. Good luck.





One P.S. do not, repeat, do not touch your face with your hands. You can easily get it in your eyes and it's dangerous, don't take this lightly.
Reply:Do you mean what does the poison ivy plant look like or do you mean what does the poison ivy rash look like?





Sounds like you have poison ivy rash but it could be poison oak or another irritating plant.





The rash looks like little water filled pimples. Careful not to scratch because it can spread. I picked it up off my dog's coat years ago and it was agony. The doctor gave me a shot and some cream. I think the over the counter stuff will help the itching but not as well as the prescription remedies.
