i have been under a doctor's care for ivy rash on my legs and
arms for a week. first i was given a cortisone shot and cream.
after 3 days of some relif, the intense itching started back
and i have developed hives on my back and chest. the ivy rash,
approx 50 areas, is drying up, but i have large red areas around where the blisters were. the doctor started me on
prednizone 3 days ago and i still have the hives. i do have a
sensitivity to bug bites and hay fever--- but i havn't had
poison ivy in 20 years and i don't know how i even got this
unless it came from my dog. do you have any advise? thanks
