Can lidocaine help release the itch of poison oak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: not the mainstay for treatment of poison ivy rash, steroids are better, if need be use the lowest effective dose topically for the shortest effective duration, you can suffer rebound itching with prolonged use, it's a prescription medication
