Charles, I had the same thing happen to me about two years ago. I had gotten poison ivy on my arm and stomach. It healed, but it left a rusty mark that took over a year to fade. I went to the doctor to see if there was anything that could be done. He recommended waiting it out. It does fade naturally. It is called post-traumatic hyperpigmentation. Be patient!
