Hey /out/doors, /b/brother here, is this poison ivy or something

looks like it could be, but that probably could be lots of other stuff too. if you think you've ben in contact with poison ivy you need to wash thoroughly, and not just your skin but also your clothes. anything the oil has touched will cause you to contaminate and recontaminate. because of that people tend to notice that the rash gets bigger and seems to "spread" over a couple weeks, but it's actually because the person has spread the oil or recontaminated themselves.

it could just be an allergy, hives, AIDs, etc though

This right here, the rash itself is not "contagious" but the oil if left unwashed can cause a reaction for years. Always wash anything that might have come in contact with the oil with warm soapy water rinse it and dry. They make ointments specifically for poison oak/ivy but for a light rash calamine lotion will do just fine.

ignore the previous posts. what you need to do is make repeated contact with the same plant over the span of weeks to induce a hormetic effect whereby you develop an immunity to the toxin. good luck.

No, those are filled pores.

Try taking a shower more than once a month.

At least it isn't a chigger bite. Fuck those things.
