Getting these itchy rashes on my arms in this heat and my mom told me to just apply calamine. but im second trimester and dont want to put anything on skin without knowing. is it ok to use during pregnancy?
Calamine is generally considered gentle and I used it for itchy skin and prickly heat. It just soothes the surface. But if the itching is severe or all over especially on palms and soles, please get it checked with your gynac, dont ignore that.
Calamine is usually okay since it stays on the skin surface, my friends used it for rashes. But if itchiness is intense or comes with other symptoms, dont just self treat. A quick check with the doctor sorts it out.
I used calamine for some itching during pregnancy and it was fine for me. Soft and cooling on the skin. Still I'd run any new product past your doctor just to be relaxed about it.
