A member asked:
My boyfriend has poison oak and he wants to have sex. is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes as long as...: He hasn't come into contact with any urushiol. You can spread the rash only if you have urushiol on your hands. Also, it can take longer for the rash to appear on certain areas of the body, especially areas such as the soles of the feet where the skin is thicker. This may give the appearance that the rash has spread from one part of the body to another.
