See doctor: You will need to see a doctor who may prescribe some Prednisone pills or a cortisone injection for you. In the meanwhile, try apply some otc Hydrocortisone cream 3 to 4 times daily. Be sure to clean out all items which might potentially been contaminated by poison oak or if you keep on getting new rashes. (shoes, floor mat, gear, clothing etc). Good luck.
