|   I've had poison oak in my armpits for over two weeks now.  Unfortunately it took me over a week to decide I had it, thinking it was just a heat rash or something minor.  I tried wiping it down with alchohol, taking cool showers and washing very thoroughly, and most recently I tried Technu.  It still itches insanely bad, bad enough to keep me from sleeping some nights.  As I write this I am staying home from work due to lack of sleep and insane itching.  I used the Technu about four times and was hoping to atleast stop the spread but it has since tripled in size.  I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has before I break down and spend money just for a doctor to tell me not to scratch it and it will go away. |
