Calamine lotion is a zinc-based antipruritic typically used to treat sunburn, eczema, rashes and insect bites and stings. It has a cooling and soothing effect offering symptomatic relief and is a mild antiseptic - helping to prevent infections that can be caused by scratching the affected area. Its active ingredient is zinc oxide with a small amount of ferric oxide, and other constituents include liquid paraffin, glyceryl monostearate, cetomacrogol, and phenoxy ethanol.

. Glycerine is a clear liquid that absorbs water from the air and is a key factor in keeping skin soft and healthy. Glycerin soap is especially good for sensitive and delicate skin, and for children. Because it is a high quality by-product in the soap making process, many mass commercial soap manufacturers often extract the glycerine and sell it as a by-product to be used in higher priced products like lotions and skin creams.

Try to stay cool and if you do get it bad put calamine lotion on it. Don't wear any clothing like nylon that will make your body sweat.

First of all, is it Poison Ivy or Poison Oak?  Poison Ivy is East Coast, Poison Oak West Coast.  From my experience Poison oak is worse.\n\nOnce you have the reaction it is just a waiting game, and doing the best you can keeping it from getting worse.\n\nSome people say that if you know that you were exposed but haven't shown any reaction yet, you should take a shower and wash with a soap that drys out your skin.  Contrary to popular belief the temperature of the water you shower with is not important.  You should do this whether you are showing a rash or not. \n\nAlso be very careful with the clothes and equipment you were wearing when you were exposed, they should be cleaned right away and dealt with carefully because one can contract the reaction from these items. \n\nIn fact what you are suffering from is an allergic reaction.   The ooze and rash are your bodies way of dealing with the oils of the plant.  Yes benadryl is a good choice, but I wouldn't use the cream; take the pill form.  Not only will the benadryl bring down the reaction, but it will also prevent the next time you are exposed from being a worse reaction.  Some people say that you build up an immunity to it if you are exposed regularly, this is not true.  In fact the opposite is true!  It gets worse with each exposure.  \n\nThe cream you should use is Calamine lotion. Some people with sensitive skin are allergic to Calamine lotion as well so watch to see if it gets worse.  If so discontinue use.\n\nAgainst popular belief once the oils have been cleaned off the reaction can't be spread to other people or other parts of the body.  If you see it spreading it is because that area was all ready exposed before you cleaned off the oil.  Sometimes though the allergic reaction gets worse and looks like it is growing in surface area, this is not because it is spreading but because your immune system is stepping up the "attacks".\n\nIf you have problems with the Calamine lotion don't use anything.  Take your benedryl, wash it with drying soap, keep it dry, and expose it to air.  In a week or two it will go away.  \n\nBut be warned, some people get a very bad reaction a person could theoretically die from!  So if it gets worse and worse go to the doctor immediately.\n\nGood luck.

If he is not allergic he can take Benadryl to help with the reaction.   Alveeno anti-itch cream seems to work better than calamine lotion.  Alveeno also has a spray gel that works great.  And their bath tratment says right on the box it is supposed to help with poison sumac.\n\nThe Benadryl and Alveeno together should get him through until you can reach the doctor.   I am very sensitive to poison ivy and reach for the benadryl right away.  Might make him sleepy though.\n\nGood luck!
