Calamyl lotion relieves itching and soothes skin irritations caused by a variety of conditions. Its formula typically contains calamine and other soothing ingredients. It's used to treat itchy skin caused by mild allergies, rashes, minor sunburn, insect bites, and minor skin irritations. The lotion works by forming a protective layer on the skin, which helps cool the affected area, reduce irritation, and absorb excess secretions and moisture. This speeds healing and relieves discomfort. Calamyl is also a popular choice for rashes caused by chickenpox or minor viral infections, as it helps relieve itching and prevent scratching, which can lead to secondary infections.
