Are My Glasses Spreading Poison Sumac Rash On My Face?

I have a poison sumac rash on my face & it s getting close to my right eye, and is beginning to spread up the side of my nose. I wear glasses all the time. It s also behind my ears, where the sides of my glasses stop. Will my glasses spread the rash?

Hi,

Glasses will not spread the rash. As of now you can take antihistamines like Pheneramine for controlling the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
