I came into contact with poison ivy over the July 4th weekend and am now finishing my second round of treatment. I took one round of the steroid tablets, and it wasn't getting any better. I appeared to be breaking out with more, new rashes. The doctor said I was still coming into contact with it somehow. He game me a shot this time and another round of the steroids. I have washed down & scrubbed everything I think I might have touched and transmitted the oil from the poison ivy to. But on my knees and thighs where I have scratched, I have patches of bruises. They look like someone has repeatedly "frogged" my legs. |
