What is calamine lotion used for?

The main benefit of calamine lotion is that it can relieve itchiness. Poisonous plants such as poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac can cause itching and skin irritation. Calamine lotion for poison ivy and other poisonous plants can help relieve the itch, along with any pain or discomfort. In addition, it can help dry up any oozing or weeping that can develop on your skin due to the irritation. Other calamine lotion uses include:

• Bug bites: You can apply calamine lotion to insect bites and stings to help with mild reactions. Apply the lotion several times a day until your symptoms clear up or the bug bites are gone.
