I'm attaching a little blurb from a medical supply company for this topic:
Tecnu Rash Relief spray by Tec Labs is a homeopathic medicated anti-itch spray that helps alleviate painful itching, helps prevent scarring, and dries oozing that occurs following exposure to poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. The area can first be cleaned with Tecnu Extreme Poison Ivy Scrub or Tecnu Outdoor Skin Cleanser to remove urushiol, keeping the rash from spreading. Tecnu Rash Relief spray is available in a 6-ounce nonaerosol spray bottle. - See more at: http://drugtopics.modernmedicine.com/drug-topics/news/filling-first-aid-kit-some-new-options-cuts-pain-and-itch-relief?page=full#sthash.SH0KiKqH.dpuf
This is a pretty all encompassing group of products that I've found to be exceptionally effective. Relatively new to the market, but I highly recommend you get a tube of the Extreme Scrub. My point is not that the other products aren't effective, on the contrary, they are excellent. But as we pursue the topics on this board; one of the long term points will endure, which is weight, space, and efficiency. Would it be nice to also have the pain relief spray ??? Sure, but lets face facts, it would sometimes be useful to have a belt fed mini-gun in our survival trailer... ANYWAY, This scrub is very effective in removing the oil of the namesake plant, as well as poison oak, and sumac ( quite likely any other resin type toxins of the equivalent nature. It should be one of the essentials in your "Band-Aids" bag.
