Suggest Treatment For Skin Allergy Caused By Poison Ivy

I was weeding this weekend and got some poison ivy on my hands and may have spread to my scrotum. It is now really itchy and the scrotum texture is very hard. There are a few bumps on my penis but not the same consistency as the bumps on my hand.

That same day and the next I rode my bike for 60 minutes each.

I am 39, 187lbs, and 5'6" in good medical health. I am trying to decide if I need to see my physician or if this will pass.

Thanks

Hi, poison ivy is the plant known to cause irritation,
itching and skin rashes anyone who touches it.
If u are having more problems then u can take antihistaminics,corticosteroids but only after consultation of physician or dermatologist.
Don't worry with proper treatment u will be alright.
