What has been prescribed?

In most cases, these types of skin reactions are treated with a steroid, such as Betamethasone, which helps reduce the inflammation, and alleviate the immune response. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, and flaking.

Has a doctor confirmed that it is poison oak?
