So I was working out in the yard last week (mainly tearing down shrubs and weed whacking) and this stuff developed on my right arm and spread a couple of days afterwards.

I've applied a topical antihistamine and it works well for cutting down on the itching, but it doesn't make it go away.

I've had ecezema when I was younger (and when I played around outside) so could this be an allergic reaction to some plants I've come into contact with when I was working? Or is this poison oak or some shit?

At any rate, do I need to see my derm for this or can I pick something up at CVS to deal with this? Thanks.

Poison oak/ivy is a decent guess given your story, but I can't be sure because of how much you scratched that shit up.

Has it been a week or a couple of days. Poison ivy should be healing on its own by now if a week.

Poison Sumac or Oak. You may need a steroid.

You could go to the doctor and get a topical steroid cream. Heals that kind of stuff in like 2-3 days.

It might also be chiggers(aka no-see-ums). do they weep clear fluid? Do they get itchier and then less itchy? Is there raised swelling around each red spot? All of these details are helpful and hard to tell from the picture.
