Poison Ivy

2017-07-10 12:55:46
I have had poison ivy rash on my left leg for around 2 weeks. I recently (4 days ago) went to the doctor to get prescribed a steroid to help get rid of it faster. I have been taking the prescription as the doctor said. My questions are: why is my poison ivy soooo hot and painful? Why is it still spreading even though I'm taking the steroid?
