Dermatology Series: A Primer on Poison Ivy Dermatitis Prevention and Treatment

Do you look forward to the nice months ahead, but dread the itchy rash that inevitably comes when you come in contact with poison ivy? 80% of people in the United States are allergic to poison ivy. It is one of the leading causes of visits to dermatology, urgent care, and primary care in the warmer months.
