A member asked:
What are good remedies to treat a rash from poison oak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wash off resin first: You should wash off the plant resin first. Get a soap called Tecnu and wash off the resin. You have to use it immediately after exposure (within the 1st hour) before the resin absorbs into your skin. That will minimize the amount of resin that you react to. Once the rash is entrenched then you have to use steroid creams (hydrocortisone) or a steroid pill from your doctor (Prednisone or Medrol)
