Rash On Leg, Wrist, Ankle. Had Pinch In Neck Weeks Ago. Any Ideas?

i have a rash on the back of my leg, on my wrist and on my ankle. i also had a bad pinch in my neck two weeks ago to which i applied three different rubs over the two weeks also heating pad and alternating cool pack, now the spot is tender to the touch and is very sore. i have been reading about poison ivy, oak and sumac online and looking at the pictures and am curious as to if they could be related to my sores and symptoms

Dermatologist 's  Response
hi.poison ivy causes itching all over the body within short time.but you should confirm whether there are poison ivy weeds near ur surroundings.any insect bite reaction also causes this type of rashes.whatever reason can be it should be treated with atarax 25 mg at night ,a broad spectrum antibiotic twice daily and application of calamine lotion over the rash.if no response go for oral wysolone 20 mg tapering to 10 mg within 10 days
