Poison Ivy question...

My wife had what looked like a cut on the inside of her upper arm. Then she thought it was infected...she went to the Dr. and she said it is, without doubt, poison ivy. She also told her that once it's been washed, it can't spread.

Well...I always heard that scratching it would make it spread. My wife says the Dr. would know...I wouldn't.

She now has a couple of other patches and I have a bit on my side. I think it's spreading from the spot on her arm.

She uses Caladryl...and the Dr. prescribed a steroid.

I think the shit is still spreading...is the Dr. right??????

 

Pretty funny with all the steriod talk it seems like Doctors are increasingly prescribing steriods for everything.

 

If it has been thoroughly washed it shouldn't be spreading.
It is probably just now manifesting itself as the rash from the initial exposure.




















I am not a doctor............

 

thats it and i've had poison ivy a buncha times. some of it pops up earlier than the rest.

one of these days im gonna figure out what that stuff looks like and avoid it.

She tried to take the remote from me...

At least I didn't shatter her kneecaps...like you did to your brother!
