Suggest Medication For Skin Rashes Due To Poison Oak

i have had poison oak for a week and two days since exposure. it started off on my forearm and back but now its on my leg and ear/face. It doesnt seem like its getting better and i cant let it get on my face because then i cant put makeup on and i dont wanna go to school without my makeup because of my blemishes. I have been using the pink lotion, but it s just really frustrating not seeing results. the spot on my back is actually kinda swollen and about two inches big. the rest are just dots.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of skin rashes due to poison oak the symptoms are probably due to allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult allergy specialist without any delay to prevent the condition like anaphylaxis . Doctor may give adrenaline short . Doctor may also prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory medications. For now drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and take over the counter antihistamines like zyrtec. Apply cold compresses on skin.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
