Abstract

Evidence-based answer It is unclear which treatment is best, because there have been no headto- head comparisons of treatments for Rhus (plant-induced) contact dermatitis. That said, topical high-potency steroids slightly improve pruritus and the appearance of the rash (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, small cohort studies).

Oral steroids improve symptoms in severe cases (SOR: C, expert opinion).
