Can an online doctor treat a poison oak rash?

Yes. Many poison oak rashes can be safely evaluated via telemedicine. We provide skin care guidance and, when appropriate, prescribe topical or oral medications to reduce itching and inflammation.

When should I seek in-person or emergency care for a poison oak reaction?

Seek urgent in-person or emergency care if you have trouble breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, spreading infection (pus, fever, red streaks), or severe rash involving large areas of the body.
