And yes, calamine lotion is meant for rashes and sunburns and such!. So it's likely that it will make it go away!. Wow, could have saved yourself 5 points and just read the bottle or googled it!. : )


By the way, when you ask a question in a public forum, it's everyone's business how you spell!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

all calamine lotion does is protect the skin!. Take an antihistime to help the itching, The rash is an allergic reaction!. Ivy dry or even alchol can help dry it up, If it is very bad and extensive or on face you should see a doctor, He might want to prescribe a steroid to clear it up fasterWww@Answer-Health@Com

It will temporarily take the itch away!. I would take an Aveeno bath, it is an oatmeal powder, and will also take the itch away!. Contact your doctor if rash persists!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
