I was gardening in my yard about 2 weeks ago and wouldn't you know
it there must have been poison ivy there because in 48 hours I
started with a rash on my arms. After a few days it seemed to
spread so I went to a walk-in clinic and they gave me oral steriods
to take for 6 days. However, it has not gone away but has spread to
my stomach and legs. I went to see my family doctor and he
prescribed 2 creams (Zonalon and Diprolene) for the itch. It seems
that every day I get a new bump. How long is this going to last and
when will it go away. (This is my first time being exposed) Should
I go back to see the doctor?
