Hi Jackie!
I think you asked this question in the Q&A section of the site.
You can see any answers to your allergy questions here.
Again, make sure that you're not reinfecting your skin with the oil from the poison oak leaves that may have gotten onto your clothes or furniture and the like in your house.
If it still isn't getting better, it's time for a trip to the doctor.
