Abstract: A treatment for urushiol induced pain and itching is provided for in a topical wash. A method is provided for applying, foaming, and removing a composition of substances to the effected area. The composition comprises a pramoxine compound in combination with a water-soluble nonylphenol ethoxylate and an inert foaming agent, preferably ammonium lauryl sulfate. It is believed that this combination stabilizes the neuronal membrane of the nerve endings with which it comes into contact, binds to the available urushiol rendering it inactive, and removes the inactive urushiol. The inert foaming agent is included to assist in the removal of the urushiol. The composition also can include one or more of a foam stabilizer, a preservative, an emulsifier, a moisturizer, and a pH adjuster. In one embodiment, the composition can comprise a quantity of cleansing beads to facilitate cleansing of the dermatitis-affected area.
