Why does your skin breakout from poison ivy? What happens when you touch Poison Ivy.

The ‘rash’ looks like it's spreading. It's not really.

Your immune system is reacting to urushiol, the oil on poison ivy leaves. Different areas of skin just absorb different amounts, so they react at different speeds. Scratching doesn't spread it. It does make it significantly worse though.

Your immune system declared war on a leaf.

Wash the area with soap and cold water. If the rash is near your eyes, covers a large area, or is severely swollen, you need a doctor. Prescription steroids can cut reaction time fast.
