Do i have to wash calamine lotion off after applying it ? i have many small acnes on my back
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calamine lotion: Calamine is used to help with itching associated with topical allergies, insect bites and such. The medication is effective for around 3-6 hours after application. It is recommended you remove it after that time to avoid dryness and pluging of your pores if you have tendency to have acne in the area you applied it.
