Poison ivy is a common plant that can be found in the wilderness. Contact with the plant can cause the skin to get irritated and itchy, eventually forming blisters, due to a mildly poisonous chemical found on its leaves. A normal poison ivy plant has three leaves with a reddish tint to the normal green found in most foliage. I do not believe that the rash is contagious unless contact with the infected person's skin happens fairly close to that individual's contact with the plant.
Impetigo (which I've actually done a presentation on) is an infection only common in very young children and athletes in very physical sports (Wrestling, for example; think along the same lines as Ringworm). It's caused by certain strains of bacterias, and can be transferred from person to person; this usually occurs from direct contact to the infected person's open lesion. Impetigo usually causes blisters to form somewhere on the body, and causes a flu-like illness.
Basically, one is a plant that makes you very itchy, and the other is a bacterial infection. The infection can be treated, the rash can only be waited out (and relieved with certain ointments).
This sounds more like Impetigo to me.....go see your Dr. for some antibiotic ointment.
