What are some other cures for posion ivy or posion oak besides calamine lotion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not cures: There are specific products that you can buy that will wash the urushiol off. As long as you have urushiol on you, it can be spread to other areas. Some options of treating poison ivy include calamine lotion, oatmeal soaks, Hydrocortisone cream and antihistamines.
