Can i use calamine lotion on shingles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Calamine lotion to soothe skin itching and pain. Do not use too much that it caked and is hard to get off. You can also put cool wet cloths on the area. You can put cornstarch or baking soda for rapid healing. To help remove loose crusts, soak them in the tap water. Hope it is helpful.
