The best poison oak (this is California, remember) remedy I ever tried is called IVY-DRY. Its active ingrediants are tannic acid and alchohol. Its advantages over calamine are: 1. It works. Calamine never did for me. 2. It looks like tea. When you dab it on, it is barely visible. Calamine looks like some loathsome skin disease (unless your complexion is exactly calamine color).
