    Ask a nurse online?
    I think I have a case of Poison Ivy or Poison Oak. I have been using Caladryl for over a week and It just isn't going away. Is there anything else I can use to help the itching? My friend suggested Benedryl. Would that be a good alternative?

    Benadryl is great for the itch, but won't dry up the poison. It's quite possible you will need to see a doctor to get a prescription steroid cream, or even shot, to get this taken care of.
