Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello, a rash which appears allergic, could be due to a variety of causes besides poison ivy..Moreover, airborne contact dermatitis willnot involve such area.
I would adv you to take tab Cetrizine 10 mg at bedtime, apply Desonide cream locally twice daily. Don't apply any other lotion/cosmetic.
Review after 7 days
I hope this will subside with this by then
Thanks
Take care.
