I Have Poison Ivy And Have Been Prescribed Steroid Cream.

I have poison ivy and have been prescribed steroid cream. Since I have been using the cream for 1 day. In that day the swelling has increased and is now a solid raised area covering half of my forearm. I have been prescribed a antihistamine and prednisone as a backup. If I have a skin infection with the poison ivy will the steroids cause it to worsen?
