Calmis D Lotion is a combination of two astringents (Calamine and Camphor) and an antiallergic (Diphenhydramine). The astringents work by imparting a cooling sensation on the skin to relieve minor skin irritation. The antiallergic works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger (histamine) thereby relieving symptoms of skin allergy.

Wash the skin with a mild soap (preferably non-scented) and water. Allow the skin to dry completely. Apply Calmis D Lotion directly to the skin and rub in gently. You may also use a cotton ball to smooth the medicine onto your skin. Wash your hands after applying. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by the doctor. Allow the medicine to dry on its own.
