|
Poison ivy is a common cause of a skin irritation called contact dermatitis. This is a poison ivy rash. Contact with poison ivy can cause a red, itchy rash consisting of small bumps, blisters or swelling. The reaction usually develops a day or two after exposure and can last up to three weeks, even with treatment. In severe cases, new areas of rash may break out several days or more after initial exposure. Poison oak and poison sumac also may cause a similar reaction. |
