HELP!! Do you think my baby has poison ivy?

HELP!! Do you think my baby has poison ivy?

I posted yesterday about this terrible rash my daughter has all over her.  It is getting worse instead of better.  I took to the doc on Monday and they said it might be a milk allergy.  We have had her on soy since then.  She has no dairy and the rash is getting worse.  It is all over her face and she was awake itching for over an hour last night.  I have been telling my coworkers about it and they think is sounds like poison ivy.  My husband is severely allergic to poison ivy and Anna has been playing outside a lot lately.  We live on a wooded street, but she hasn't been in the woods.  I know there is poison ivy there, but I don' t think she has been near it.  Has anyone ever had a baby with it and how long does it last??

what does it look like? whenever i got poison ivy, they were little fluid filled blisters. also, while it would spread a little, unless she is still being exposed to the oils, it would not continue to spread over her body. if the rash is still getting worse, i'd get her looked at again.

by the way, if a person is very sensitive to poison ivy, she can get it from pets like cats and dogs that walk through it (oils on fur transfer to skin)
