Can you put caladryl clear on your child's penis for poison ivy/oak?

Instead of yourself-It is best you consult the pediatrician and let her/him suggest the treatment for poison ivy/oak. I hope the child does well

I consider this agent too drying for use on this sensitive skin. A mild (.5 hydrocortisone cream or simple lanolin may provide some comfort.
