I've had this for about a week. Originally when I had it was just small dots, but it spread out and began to bubble up. Now it has flattened out some, but has also gotten a bit darker in color. A few days ago I started using hydrogen peroxide and washing it with soap and water a couple times a day and that seems to have dried it up some...but I'm not sure if that's what I should be doing.

Anyway could someone confirm/deny that this is poison ivy? If it's not do you have any idea what it is? Thanks.

If it is poison ivy how is it best treated? Some people have told me to get a scrubber in the shower and scrub as hard as possible and then use baby powder and hydrocortizone on it. Others have to only take cold showers with it and not to touch it at all...which is correct?

Best to see your doctor and get proper diagnosis and medication.
