Poison Oak/Poison Ivy HELP! Hoping this clears up soon :(
Someone please tell me there is a light at the end of the tunnel soon. I am on day 6 (7ish cos I “felt” itchy the day before) of finding out that I had gotten into poison oak & I am miserable. On the first day I immediately went to urgent care & got a steroid shot, Prednisone for home & a topical cream. I have been taking it/rubbing it on as prescribed along with rotating between calamine lotion & Cortisone cream. My face got the worst of it for sure (see pics) & is somehow (LUCKILY) healing the fastest but I am not having the same luck on the rest of my body. It is also popping up in new places every day. As of yesterday, I have a huge red rash on my stomach that burns like a horrible sun burn but isn’t blistering & today I am starting to feel itchy & red between my thighs. I believe I have both poison ivy & oak, & have always been highly allergic to ivy but never had oak before. It’s like I literally went swimming in it & all I did was pull some weeds along the fence line of my driveway. Hoping for some relief soon (& I need to go back to work!!)
