I had an encounter with poison ivy and broke out on my arms and hands. After a week and an half, it has dried out, but I still have the red looking sores and red streaks on my arms.

I've seen a friend's scar. She had a severe case on her ankle. It is discolored to this day.
What you have sounds normal and should not leave a scar. Keep the area away from direct sunlight, because it may cause scarring. And ask your pharmacist for a cream to help it heal quicker.
I've had the same marks many times. I think it took about a month for the redness to go away.

I've had more poison ivy than you can shake a stick at- and have no permament scars from it. But if it gets severe- and that sounds like what you've had- it will take a while to heal.

It could, depending on your skin type. In my experience, however, the redness goes away in time. I do not have any lasting scars from the (numerous) cases of poison ivy that I have had.

You most likely will not have scars as long as you leave the scabs alone. The scar looking areas may take a few months to go away completely if it is bad.

As a kid I always got poisen ivy. i mean i even looked at it and somehow i would get it. I even had it all over my face, i have no scares. I wont look pretty after it first goes away, but dont worry, you will be fine in no time.

if its super bad and you keep scratching it and picking off the scabs then yes. but it also depends on where it is. i had it on my face a few years ago and it wa SUPER bad. and it left scars on the side of my face. you have to be careful and keep it clean and take your meds. if you get scars i suggest using maderma because that worked for me.

yes, if you scratch a lot.
