Once you clean your skin and clothes with soap and water it is no longer contagious , even the seeping blisters are not contagious . Steroids are your best bet, injection, oral and or topical
This!!! It's not contagious from the rash/blisters. Once you have washed the oil from the plant off of you and anything on contact with the oil, it not transmittable.
