Patient's question:
Can pregnant women use calamine lotion?Doctor's answer:
Calamine lotion is primarily composed of calamine, supplemented with zinc oxide and glycerin, and is prepared with distilled water. It is used to relieve itching symptoms caused by skin conditions such as hives, summer dermatitis, and sunburn, and has a very effective anti-itching effect. Calamine lotion can be used on the face and works well, with no irritating properties. Generally, if there is no history of allergies, pregnant women can use it. The irritation and side effects of calamine are relatively minor, and it can be used for long-term application.
