An adult returned home yesterday from a late fall camping trip where he went hiking through woods and prairies that don’t have trails.  The weather was warm, and he chose to wear cargo shorts instead of long pants, though he did wear hiking boots.  Today, he has an angry red rash on both his lower legs below his knees that is very pruritic (itchy), and some blisters are starting to form.  He’s fairly certain he must have hiked through poison ivy vines since he’s had a rash like this before from that plant. Which of the following would be the best thing for this adult to do for self-care at this time?
