Can Cluster Of Rashes On The Wrist Be An Allergic Reaction To Poison Ivy?
I want to know if it is possible for poison ivy to have a delayed reaction. I have a rash on my wrist that appeared one week ago. About 4 days ago another little patch appeared. Now almost every day a little cluster of the rash appears all in different spots. Could this be poison ivy?

Hi,
The allergic rash is usually associated with itchiness. You should also rule out a condition called scabies in which wrist is usually affected. The allergic rash could be a probable diagnosis but final diagnosis could be made only after proper examination. I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
