Suggest Treatment For Rashes On The Elbow Area

I have a rash on my right interior of the elbow area. looks and feels like poison ivy. Benadyl tablets and spray are not a huge help as it still itches. I don t know where I would have been around poison ivy but oddly this appeared last Tuesday night while I was staying in a hospital room with my mother. I am concerned that I picked up something in the hospital. was just looking around webmd before going to a doctor.
