Can poison ivy be managed online?
Often yes, especially when the rash is itchy and uncomfortable but still limited to the skin without breathing issues, severe swelling, or infection signs.
What symptoms make this unsafe for online care?
Airway symptoms, severe facial swelling, fever, or a rash that looks infected should be handled in person rather than through a low-acuity online request.
