It's a red rash... Be sure not to wash your body in warm-hot water because the oils from the poison ivy with spread from one area into many areas. Try to keep your body temperature low. Put calamine lotion on the affected area. Avoid rubbing your skin (hands off). It should go away in about a week if you don't go on aggravating it. You can also use a topical benadryl cream.

These poison plants contain an oily ingredient called urushiol that causes allergic reactions that include redness, bumps, blisters, itching and swelling. Scratching the rash can introduce bacteria into the open sores and cause a secondary bacterial infection. Severe infections may produce abscesses, enlarged glands and fever.

The way you know if you have poison ivy it is it will be red but there should be a linear line of the red dots wherever you have it. It is contagious only to yourself so try not to spread it.
