It could be from poison oak or sumac, which are very similar to poison ivy. It could also be a reaction to something else you rubbed against or something you ate or put on your skin (like a cream). If anti-itch cream or poison ivy-like relief medications don't work and the rash persists or spreads or gets worse for a few more days or so, go to a doctor. They could probably help tell you more clearly what might be wrong.
