One of the ways recommended by doctors to find poison oak itch relief is by using Calamine. Luckily, this is an item commonly found in pharmacies, especially in areas where there are lots of poison oak plans.
However, in 1992, there was information that there is no proof that it can be used to treat poison oak rash, here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia:
In a 1992 press release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that no proof had been submitted showing the main ingredients in calamine (zinc oxide and iron(III) oxide) to be safe for use or effective in treating bug bites, stings, and rashes from poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.
Then why many doctors recommend this lotion? I think it comes down to personal experience and well, it’s true, you certainly feel a relief to itching when you apply Calamine to the rash, and that my friends, feels like heaven.
