What happends if you get poison ivy on your eye?I thought i just had a stye but it has gotten so swollen.I also have small rashes on my face, neck and a couple tiny bumps elsewhere. Which makes me think i have poison ivy and may have gotten it in my eye.
Stye and Poison Ivy?
If the rash spreads to your face, mouth, eyes, or genitals, or if you develop fever, headache, extreme redness, pus, or other severe symptoms, see your doctor. He or she will recommend one or more of the following:
• applying corticosteroid ointment or cream to the affected areas two to three times a day, gradually reducing to once a day
• taking oral corticosteroids such as prednisone
• taking oral antibiotics or using an antibiotic cream if an infection develops.
Because these are all potent drugs, ask your doctor about any possible side effects or interactions with other drugs you may be taking.
In most people, the condition clears up in 2 to 3 weeks.
