    That is how it started with me. I didn't know what it was-I thought maybe flea bites but the spots were too big. I didn't scratch too much because I know better than to scratch. In a few days it turned to blisters. I went to the pharmacist and he said it was poison ivy. I have been taking benadryl, soaking in epsom salt, and aloe vera gel seems to be working best. Better than calamine lotion. I think you too have poison ivy. You might want to look into that. It can last for a week to six weeks with the average being two weeks, and it can take up to a week to for the sores to show after being exposed.
