Question 1

how could i treat poison oak allergy?

Accepted Answer

Avoidance is best: The best approach is avoidance. If the rash is mild and localized over the counter steroid creams and antihistamines may be sufficient. More severe symptoms require a visit to the doctor for stronger steroid creams and possibly oral steroids. Antihistamines can help the itch. Expect it to take at least 2 weeks to clear.

Question 2

is poison oak allergy genetic?

Accepted Answer

Poison oak: Some people appear to be immune, others become immune. However, you can gain or lose immunity, so to assume you can't get it if you never have before is foolish. People change as they age. I would never assume that i was immune at any time no matter what my past experience was.

Question 3

Pollen: If you test positive for oak on allergy testing, it is to the pollen that you are allergic.  This will be in the air during the spring.  It is often what causes the yellow dust on your car in the spring.

Question 4

please describe a good treatment for my oak tree pollen allergies?

Accepted Answer

Several: The most effective treatment for seasonal pollen allergies is prescription nasal steroid sprays such as qnasl, flonase, nasonex, (mometasone) etc.  Otc antihistamines such as claritin, Allegra and zyrtec can be helpful for many people.  Avoidance measures for pollen are possible but not really practical.  An allergist can assist in a personalized treatment plan.

Scrubbing with soap and cold water will remove the urushiol from the skin if it is done within a few minutes of exposure, before it bonds.
