Patches On The Abdomen And Back. Tender Lymph Nodes In The Armpit And Groin Area. Could It Be Due To Poison Ivy?

I have two patches of what I think is poison ivy on my right side; one patch on the front middle abdomen and one on the back. I noticed this morning now I have two tender lymph nodes; one in the right armpit and one in my right groin. The patch on my front right abdomen is about a quarter size with little small raised red bumps. The patch on my back is about 2 inches wide and doesn't appear to be little bumps like the front, but they itch like MAD!
Just wondering what I should do.
