Calamine lotion is a topical medication widely used to relieve itching and discomfort caused by skin irritations. It is primarily used for conditions like poison ivy, poison oak, insect bites, and minor skin rashes. The lotion combines zinc oxide and ferric oxide, providing a soothing effect while protecting skin. Calamine lotion helps to dry oozing from minor irritations, promotes skin healing, and reduces inflammation. It is an over-the-counter remedy frequently recommended for its mild and gentle action on sensitive skin.

Mechanism of Action

Calamine Lotion works by delivering two key active ingredients: calamine and zinc oxide. Calamine acts as a skin protectant, soothing minor skin discomforts, while zinc oxide provides a protective barrier, reducing irritation and preventing further dehydration of the skin. Together, they work to cool and soothe irritated skin, promoting faster recovery.

2. Cleanse the affected area thoroughly and pat it dry.
3. Apply the lotion liberally to the affected area using a clean cotton ball, gauze pad, or your fingertips.
