Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 The best over the counter topical medication is actually used on horses and it is Numatiazine. Absolutely the only medication I know that works topically for poison oak, which is probably the same as poison Ivy. Do not forget Benadryl. The Benadryl stops the itch also but use the two together. Possibly you need to buy the Numatiazine in a tack shop. Hurry up and get it though the Codex people will surely get it off the shelf, it works. Years back I would go blackberry picking or huckleberry picking and I spent most of the summer with the poison oak. The absolutely worst thing you could do is go and take a nice hot soapy bath. You will be covered with the poison oak. Poison oak also has a habit of coming back in all the old places the las time you had it. I am from the coast of Calif. and it is covered with the poison oak. You could even catch it from the bare limbs. sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
