Can i use calamine lotion on the itchy rashes from a diagnosed staph infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Itchy rash may be benefitted from calamine especially if it is the phenolated variety. This also keeps you from tearing fragile skin. If the cause is skin infection and that skin is involved/broken, it may may become irritated by the lotion.
