Hi Sunny -

The normal course for a poison oak induced rash is about 10 to 14 days. You are in day 8 and so should begin to see some definite improvement here. As for blistering and weeping, that is varies really from person to person. I couldn't give you any idea. If you keep the rash clean and dry, that will go a long way towards minimizing the amount of time it does ooze. You might consider some of the treatments for drying the rash such as baking soda. We have a number of suggestions from viewers in the treatments section.
