I also have broken out from contact with the Virginia Creeper - at least that is exactly what the vine in my yard looks like - with 5 leaves - I have a spot on my forearm, it started out small, like a scratch, about 2 1/2 weeks ago, than developed into blisters about 1/2" to 3/4" long across my forearm. Than developed into about a quarter size circle with red, swollen, iritated skin, weeping blisters - started putting Benedryl cream on it about 3 - 4 times daily, covering with a band aid, no help!! - Now, I am putting calimine lotion on it 3-4 times daily - some help, but it has spread to most of my right forearm, a few spots on my left forearm, a few spots on my leg, and my son's leg (just 4 small spots) I am going to the parmacy to get some Super ivy dry - hope this clears it up, everyone around me thinks I am a leper (yikes) If anyone has any helpful information, Please, Please let me know - I hate these itchy (ugly) spots!
