Permetrin and calamine do they mix well ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be fine: I do not see a problem with combining permethrin cream and calamine lotion. It may even provide some benefit in spreading the permethrin more evenly over your skin as you are treating the infection from scabies or lice.
