Poison ivy rash is a type of allergic contact dermatitis. It is caused by an allergic reaction to the resin in poison ivy, oak, or sumac plants. The rash is characterized by itching, redness, and swelling. It can range from mild to severe.
If you come in contact with poison ivy, oak, or sumac, you will likely develop a rash within 12-24 hours. The best way to prevent the rash is to avoid these plants. If you are exposed to them, you should wash the affected area with soap and water as soon as possible.
If you develop a rash, there are several over-the-counter treatments that can help relieve the symptoms. However, if the rash is severe, you should see a doctor. Poison ivy rash is rarely life-threatening, but it can be very uncomfortable.
The signs and symptoms of poison ivy rash may include the following:
Poison ivy rash is caused by an allergic reaction to an oily resin called urushiol. It’s found in poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac. This oily resin is very sticky, so it easily attaches to your skin, clothing, tools, equipment and pet’s fur.
