Is 988.2 the correct code to use? Or am I not seeing one that is more specific?

I'm assuming that there has been an allergic reaction such as dermatitis? If so, look at 692.6

Toxicodendron radicans, better known as poison ivy (older synonyms are Rhus toxicodendron and Rhus radicans),[1] is a poisonous North American plant that is well known for its production of urushiol, a clear liquid compound found within the sap of the plant that causes an itching, or sometimes painful rash in most people who touch it.[2] The plant is not a true ivy (Hedera).
