Histo Calamine Lotion 60ml

Histo Calamine Lotion 60ml is a multi-action topical dermatological preparation formulated with Aloe vera, Calamine, Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora), Diphenhydramine, and Glycerol (Glycerine). This combination is commonly used for the symptomatic management of itching, skin irritation, allergic reactions, prickly heat, insect bites, mild rashes, and dry skin conditions.

Aloe vera is a natural soothing and moisturizing agent that helps calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and support skin healing. It also hydrates dry and sensitive skin.

Calamine acts as a skin protectant and anti-itch agent. It provides a cooling effect that helps relieve itching, irritation, and discomfort associated with rashes and allergies.

Camphor produces a cooling sensation on the skin and helps reduce itching, burning sensations, and mild discomfort. It also gives a refreshing effect on inflamed skin.

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine-mediated allergic reactions such as itching, redness, swelling, and irritation.

Glycerol (Glycerine) acts as a humectant and emollient. It attracts moisture to the skin and helps maintain hydration, thereby reducing dryness and roughness.

This combination provides comprehensive symptomatic relief through cooling, soothing, moisturizing, antihistaminic, and skin-protective actions. It is generally recommended for short-term use and should be used only under medical supervision.

Camphor stimulates sensory nerve endings, creating a cooling sensation that reduces itching and burning. Diphenhydramine blocks histamine H1 receptors, which are responsible for allergic symptoms such as itching, swelling, and redness.
