Poison Ivy?!?!?!

by rozrockz, Jul 20, 2009 10:21AM
Ok well I think I have Poison Ivy... So I have these little bumps/bubbles across my fingers specifically the joint or web between my middle and ring finger.. on my right hand, This is starting to occur on my left hand... I have seem to got these bumps/bubbles while was asleep the night before, And I seem to also have been having rashes lately and usually on the neck and where the fore hand and the muscle side (Forgot what its called) meet, SO yeah the joint area also
I think its Poison ivy because a few days before we went to a place that had poison ivy but the strange part is I made a great effort to not touch it, Since it was on the outskirts of a trail... Any ideas?

Hello,
From the symptoms,it does not sound like poison ivy rash. Symptoms of poison ivy include redness and itching of the skin, development of rash and sometimes development of blisters from rash.

These bumps can be due to scabies or dyshidrotic eczema. Rash in scabies is usually found in the folds of skin and they are red blister like rashes.Yet they are very itchy and can disrupt life. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.

Diagnosis can be confirmed only after clinical examination.I feel that a dermatologist would be the best person to evaluate that.

Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
