Can calomine lotion help with acne scars?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Scars are permanent. They will improve with time, and can be made less apparent with surgical procedures like dermabrasion.

No: Calamine lotion is just a soothing agent that helps with itchiness. It won't do anything for the acne.
