When will the swelling from poison ivy start to recede?
my arms are so swollen from poison ivy. now the swelling is traveling to my left paw. i was exposed one week ago and 3 days ago i started taking prednisone(5 in am and 5 contained by pm for 3 days then 2in am and 2 in pm for 3days later 1 in am and 1 inpm for 3 days). I of course hold the rash on top of it. ive really tried to avoid the scraching . i constantly enjoy ice packs on too.

It depends on respectively person, and their tolerance. I remember getting at the beginning of one summer and it took me a week to lose the reckless. But then later that summer, I literally rolled my arm surrounded by it and didn't get anything.
Some people are immune to the oil. On average, it'll take from 1-2 weeks. .
Depends on how sensative your skin is to the poison ivy!
