One week ago I was pulling poison ivy out like i was immune. You guessed it, I got it, but only in 4 area. The forearms and the knees. I has spread a little. Recently got put on prednisone 20 mg pills and zyrtac. Ive also been using aveeno and caladryl since it showed up 2 days after I worked. Tiny blisters have shown up but like one here, one there. I do have some swelling on the knee, but mostly seem to feel the swelling on one forearm. The other arm is basically cleared up, but the right arm has been swollen for 2 days now. Will the prednisone take the swelling down, and should i continue to use the caladryl to keep my arms and legs dry and less blisters? Also, no blisters have come to a head and I have only scratched in one place. What should I do? Continue treatment and see my regular doctor immediatlely?
