A member asked:
Please tell me what's the best treatment for poison oak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids: Poison ivy and poison oak are best treated with steroids. Mild localized cases may respond to over the counter steroid creams but more severe cases may need a trip to the doctor for prescription steroid creams or even oral steroids. Antihistamines can help the itch.
