Wedding went well! They're married!

The dang poison oak is still spreading.  Cousin  J has slathered me in zinc oxide with menthol, which hurts wherever the skin was broken.  

Ow.

menthol is gonna burn like a mo-beeeeeeeeeeeeeep-er. I second a doctor visit. but if you want to try home medications, I'd try a combination of zinc in the form of a babybuttcream (no burn!) and over the counter cortisone cream. but it sounds like it is "in your system" and you need more than topical at this point.
