What Are The Symptoms Of Poison Ivy Allergy?
can poison ivy rash look like a scabies rash, vise versa. I visited a friend and her daughter was told she had scabies. I was brushed by her blanket like 5 or 6 days ago. I was also doing some gardening and came in contact with poison ivy. Either way i have a small rash with blisters spreading. The outside of the rash looks infected as well.

Hello,
Brushing against a poison ivy plant can cause a red, itchy rash with swelling, bumps and blisters.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine.
I also recommend using Calmine lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
