I have what I think is poison oak right now. It is spreading quickly to new areas of my chest, abdomen, insides of my arms, legs, neck and back. I am taking the predisone pills and they are not working. I saw a doctor last night and he said "have you considered the possibility that your rash might not be poison oak? We could refer you to a dermatologist." I was hoping for my predisone dosage to be increased to double or more the strength of 30mg I am taking but all I got was a .1% cortizone prescription cream. If you want to take action go to the doctor, but choose a REAL GOOD one who will listen to you.
I am not impressed with the treatment I have received. My little rash should have been gone within 4 or 5 days. I am on day 10 and will likely have this rash for weeks or months. (God I hate this stuff) |
