Getting a lot of itching and rashes on my belly these days, someone at home said calamine is safe. But i dont know how to apply it properly or how often. Anyone used it during pregnancy, pls share.
Directly apply it on the rash, it is totally safe. But if the itching is too severe, tell your doctor because it could be due to internal liver issues.
Actually, my dermatologist confirmed that calamine has zinc oxide which is very safe. She advised applying it thinly on clean skin and avoiding any open cuts.
As a nurse, I can tell you calamine is perfectly safe because it doesn't get absorbed into the bloodstream. Just shake the bottle well and apply to dry skin.
