Poison Oak Treatment?

[TX_Diver]

I’ve never been one to have much of a reaction but I got 2 small spots on my hand a week ago on a trip and it’s escalated within the last few days.

I originally Washed my clothes and myself with Tecnu and just kinda let those spots sit as they weren’t too bad, but Friday I started getting spots popping up all over, leg, neck, other arm, etc. and it kinda sucks

right now I’m showering daily with tecnu and using calamine lotion frequently, and I washed my sheets etc with tecnu also.

What else can I do to improve this?

I feel for the people that are supers allergic! New experience for me and not super fun!!

I’ve been prescribed prednisone three times when it was really bad. Worked great to clear it up in three days. Got it helping at a buddies parents house in high school all over my arms and legs pulling fence posts. Then the next year got it weed whacking at my my job. All over my face and arms. Third time not sure what happened but think I got it cutting grass on riding lawn mower. Spread bad all three times and wouldn’t go away. I’ve had it before and after and had it go away on its own also.

if you can’t get — or don’t want to get — a prednisone prescription, Zanfel is a lifesaver.

How different is it from tecnu?
