Is Ivy Poison, Related With Red Bumps, On Foot And Fingers?

A few days ago I noticed a small red bump on the top of my left foot that itched a little. It grew in size and a few days later I had a few more bumps on my left foot and on my fingers. Also a few on my right calf. The ones that I scratched weep a clear fluid when I rub them with an alcohol wipe. Those I don t scratch are a hard looking people that only itch if I rub them. I recently started using Cortizone Cream.Is this poison ivy or what?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that hard bump without fluids are not related to ivy poison and those coming out with clear fluid is related to poison ivy. For hard bump cortisone is not right cream. You should consult doctor and take appropriate treatment for it. Because visual examinations will only help in proper treatment.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
