Mupirocin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It is not effective against viral, fungal or other types of infections. Poison Oak, as well as poison ivy and sumac cause a skin rash called allergic contact dermititis. Mupricocin would not be effective against it. Calamine lotion is often used for this type of reaction, and your doctor may prescribe an appropriate medicine that is effective.
No, poison oak does not grow from acorns. Poison oak plants grow from seeds that fall from mature plants and germinate in the soil. Acorns are the seeds of oak tree species, which are entirely separate plants from poison oak.
Burning poison oak (or poison ivy or poison sumac) can release the urushiol, which is the oily substance in poison oak that many (but not all) people have strong reactions to. Worse, the urushiol will be carried in the smoke from the fire, and it will get into the lungs of anyone who breathes in the smoke. If you think that having poison oak on your arms and legs is bad, just imagine having that poison oak reaction on the inside of your lungs.Bottom line: do not ever burn poison oak.

Mupirocin is an antibiotic ointment primarily used to treat bacterial infections, not allergic reactions. Poison ivy causes a skin reaction due to urushiol, an oil that triggers an inflammatory response, which mupirocin cannot address.

It's important to seek appropriate care for allergic reactions rather than using antibiotics like mupirocin.
