I was researching about poison ivy, oak and sumac because I think I might have it, but all of them says something about blisters with fluid and I dont have any blisters. I have the puffyness(not severe), and the redness, and the itching went away after 2-3 days, now I just look like I have a sunburn which I cant get because of the kind of skin I have. So do I need to have the blisters to comfirm I have poison ivy, oak or sumac or is my condition caused by something else?

Well, if it is going away without treatment, I would say no. I am extremely allergic to cashews, which is in the same family as this ivy, and I usually have it for DAYS and can still see signs of it for sometimes weeks after I get it. But everyone is different so you might have it. It doesn't always blister, but for me it comes in patches. If it looks like it is a little more raised than the skin, that means it is still inflamed, and can still be contagious. Tech-nu is an ointment that removes Poison Ivy&Oak oils. If it becomes even worse, I use Calamine. I hope I helped.

umm when i had poison ivy i had what looks like very large pimples(i know grosssss) on random areas on my body and it itched reaaaaaallllly bad. so i guess you could have had it but if it went away who cares?? also u probably did if you were outside in a foresty area, in a ditch(i was) or something like that you proabably did. but i remember just getting a little redness on my face too that was actually from poison ivy because that happened when i touched my face cuz i had it on my hands. so yes you probably did just not that severe which would explain not having any blisters.
