2 weeks ago I was walking in a wooded area without socks and the next day or two got poison ivy rash on my ankles. The blisters and rash have only now started to subside but 2 days ago both feet have swollen enough that I went in to a dermatologist today. He gave my Prednisone for 10 days and an antibiotic. How long can I expect before the swelling goes down?
