I have poison oak on my leg. What can I do?

Try calamine lotion. It may not make it go away faster, but it will definitely help with the redness and the itching. Also, take some benedryl, it may help tone the reaction down a bit.

I've had it before, and I generally just use and anti-itch spray or cream and sit it out, and just wait for it to go away, but that takes weeks!

I was wondering if there was a way to help it go away faster?!

PLEASE help me! It's driving me mad!!!

thank you

Apply Caladryl/Calamine lotion to the area with a cotton ball often during the day/evening. It'll relieve the itching while clearing it up. Feel better soon!

You can again use the OTC meds you've mentioned or you can see your doctor who might have other suggestions. Unfortunately p oak and ivy are so very itchy and so very uncomfortable and it seems like they last forever. I had scars from it for years but they finally faded and I'm very careful to avoid it. Would ice cold wet cloths on the areas help with the discomfort?

go to the dr or search cures for it on the internet...im sure there is a lot of home remedies for poison oak. Good luck!

omg i had this once when i was like 11 and what my mom did was put cocoanut oil on it it absolutely worked the reddness and irritation went away within an hour

Call one of those obsessed Twilight fans to suck it out like vampires. See if they like it.
