I Am Having Trouble Identifying If A Rash On My

I am having trouble identifying if a rash on my body was in fact caused by a poison plant; or not?
I am almost positive that I have a poison plant reaction on my arms, but I also has a rash appearing on both sides of my pelvic areas (or on my hips and a few bumps around my waist). I am concerned about bed bugs and I don't suspect that I have bed bugs but I am trying to confirm that the rash on my body is all caused from a poison plant reaction.
The rash has been around for at least a week, and I do believe that it has gotten worse from some involuntary late night, subconscious scratching. The itch appears to get worse after sleeping.
I have been taking Benadryl, also, as well as treatment with calamine (though I did put off the calamine treatment).
Again, I am simply trying to verify that it is only a poison plant rash that I expect to clear on its own in a few days, and nothing to do with BedBugs or something else. I am positive that I have some poison plant reaction, so I hope that it is all from the poison plant and nothing else.
