Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 I noticed a posting about Calamine lotion. My son has extremely bad allergies, (He cant even lie in the grass for two minutes without breaking out in welts and puffy eyes) and I have always tried to use nothing but all natural, herbal etc... remedies. You know, like bathing in camomile and black tea? However for things such as welts, itching, etc.... I found the only thing that does the trick fast, is Calamine. Now, my question is, exactly how bad/good is this stuff. I mean, I have always been quite weary of using it because unsure of derivatives.. etc.... Anyone got the goods on calamine, so that I can either put my mind to rest, or stop using completely? I mean, I know its not going to seriously effect him, but if it is really harshly chemical, I would prefer not to use it. Thanks again in advance for your wisdom...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2001 Report Share Posted September 15, 2001 All I have is Caladryl, but it is far from all natural, but if it is all that works, then what are you gonna do except use it 'til you find something better (unless it causes side effects).
