Hello,
You have developed rashes on legs and have history of ivy poison on your forearms from which you got over. You should take care of your hygiene, use mild soap & take bath regularly. Wear soft cotton clothes. Avoid going outdoors for a few days. You can apply hydrocortisone ointment on the affected area of the legs to get rid of itching and discomfort.
Take non-sedating antihistamines for relieve. Stay away from dust, pollen, poison ivy, animal dander, paints, pollution, smoke , etc that may cause allergic reactions on your sensitive skin. Be careful not to eat anything to which your symptom is allergic. Do not scratch or touch, avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Do not scratch. Stay away from addictions of any kind. Take adequate water, avoid stress and anxiety.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
