Poison oak on leg- how serious?

I got poison oak on my leg (weirdly enough, the cut was there for like a week and only after I decided to pick the scab on a whim did it get inflamed). It was pretty swollen and inflamed and it was weeping real bad, but it's not weeping so bad at all anymore- hardly at all. But it's real itchy and I'm putting bleach on it, hair drying it, and I'm on prednisone, allegra and one more (hydrox-something). Anyway, this is like the third day of itchiness, maybe the fourth. It's only on my ankle- do ya think it'll be better in a week, according to this pic? I'm going to LA to visit my bf and I don't want my leg to be uncomfortable.
