Got a couple questions. First, I got poison Ivy for the first time. So far I got little blisters between a couple of my fingers,small patch of blisters on my pinky finger and some of my wrist. All these are on the left hand a nowhere else. And have developed over the last 24-38 hours. Anyway questions are.

1:how likely is it to spread elsewhere

2:if I rub say my leg or elsewhere by accedient with the blisters will it spread there aswell is it not possible

3:will it clear up on its own and are there any ways to speed the healing process up without going to the doctor or having to buy expensive washes/creams and stuff

4:is using the Hair Dryer method safe? I used it a couple times. But then heard it could cause the rash to spread more so I quit using it.

I been itching everywhere but the rash/blisters but I think its just where I keep thinking about PI. Kinda like if someone mentions lice your head starts itching(well mine does anyway).

Thx
