Hi. i had/have poisen oak all over my thigh. it is progressively going away because i am applying baking soda to it. how to i make the scabs go away?

Scabs: Nature will eventually allow this crusting to fall off as healing takes place. Don't try to scrape it off. You could apply warm salt water soaks and then pat the area dry,however.
