A member asked:
I applied permethrin an hour ago. it soothed the itching and the hives i have from an allergic reaction to another medication. may i apply calamine or?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would avoid it: I find calamine would be excessively drying & may add to your itching problem. AA cool compress applied to the more irritated areas can quell itching & a thin layer of 1% hydrocortisone cream may reduce the irritation.
