Poison Ivy? Swelling?!
Question:
Poison Ivy? Swelling?
My right arm from the elbow down is covered in rash and it's very swollen. The pain is severe, I probably only got an hour of sleep last night?
Should I see a doctor and/or are there any home remedies?
It took more than a week for the rash to go away!
My arm swelled up badly. My bicept actually puffed up well above the rash and a small trail of rash dots travelled up my arm with the swelling... it stopped now, but maaaan! that was painful and miserable!
Should I have seen a doctor? why did the dots travel up my arm to my chest? was I in danger?

Awww free2bfrearless, I'm sorry that happened to you but I think that you SHOULD SEE a doctor. You had to go since it began. If I was you I would go and tell the doctor what happened, it sounds kind of weird. Now that you're going on a mission you have to do your best to be 100% healthy, you'll be far from home. It might be a kind of alergy but it would be great if you go talk to a professional ^_^ hope you get better and let me know how you're doing.
Ah! once I went to this park when I just came from my country to the US and I think that I was allergic to something there, maybe a tree, I don't know what and I got all this like little dots (don't know well how to explain it) and my I used Caladryl and it really helped and it's very quick! however, go see the doc. :)
