Hi everyone! I have a rash above my ankle on my right leg. I work in the yard a lot and know that this has to be poison oak or sumac, I dont think its poison ivy because it doesnt itch at all. I have had it for 8 days with no improvement, but no itching. I continue to wash it and also alcohol seems to be drying it and helping, but what makes it go away? I dont know what next steps are. Its about 5-6 tiny red bumps in a line, I know that is characteristic of posion sumac or oak. I have no itching whatsoever, which I think is weird, so should I get something that will dry the area? Calamine lotion? Help!
