What Does A Rash On The Lower Leg Indicate?

I have had a rash on my feet and legs almost up to my knees. It is symmetrical. The dr put me on Prednisone and it brought the swellling down but I still have the rash but it s not increasing. I also had laryngitis for three weeks before this happened. They think it was exposure to poison ivy but I did not touch poison ivy but I was near it.
