Yes: This may help the itching but antihistamine can better control the hives.

Determine cause: It is important to determine the cause of the urticarial. For example, if there is a trigger such as certain foods, antibiotics etc. Your physician can order a CAP panel after obtaining a detailed history of possible triggers. Calamine can be used to soothe the skin, an antihistamine topical lotion can also be used three to four times per day.

Yes but......: I never recommend it.I find it stinks & is excessively drying.It is an ancient preparation that saw good use before we had better ones available.
