Finding a poison oak cure is of extreme importance to improve your quality of life while you have the rash. Poison oak treatments are aimed at minimizing the itching and improving the state of the skin, as well as accelerating the healing process, which takes approximately a couple of weeks in most cases.
Doctors recommend treating poison oak, the use of a calamine lotion. This will help soothing the symptoms and also dry-up the crusts left on the skin by the rash.
Another great way to find relief is with cool water. Cool water will act as calamine, soothing the itching. There are a couple of ways to use water the right way: the first one is by making compresses of cold water using cloth or a towel and then letting them rest on the affected areas of the skin. The other option is to prepare a cold water bath with oatmeal. I personally recommend this option as it is relaxing and can greatly improve how you cope with the itching.
These are the medical ways to treat poison oak, on an upcoming article we’ll expand on alternative methods and homemade poison oak treatment alternatives.
