Poison ivy rashes last about 1-3 weeks, the itching will go away in approx. 1 week or maybe less. Avoid scratching rashes, or it will turn red and leave scars.

The duration of poison ivy rashes can vary from person to person and depends on factors such as the individual's sensitivity to the plant's oils, the extent of exposure, and how quickly treatment is initiated. In general, poison ivy rashes typically last anywhere from one to three weeks.
Mild cases may resolve within a week, while more severe reactions can persist for several weeks. It's crucial to avoid scratching the rash to prevent secondary infections, and over-the-counter creams, calamine lotion, or antihistamines can help alleviate itching and discomfort. If the rash is severe or persists, it's advisable to seek medical attention for appropriate treatment.
