on my mosquito bites when I was a little girl. I played outside so much in summer that I got lots of mosquito bites and had that awful pink chalky stuff all over me. The lotion definitely helped the itching but I hated the stuff.

Does anyone still use that?

@Pearlee    Girl, we have bottles of the clear calamine lotion in both bathrooms and the kitchen.  I live in the South and I have a young granddaughter.  You can donate blood at a blood drive and will be giving less blood than the mosquitos around here get in one hour.  Our bottles are in constant use.  I told my granddaughter it was a magic potion. Smiley LOL

Yes but the clear one.  I got a touch of poison ivy for the first time ever in my life.  The clear Calamine lotion worked like a charm on the itching and I didn't have that ugly peachy/pink all over my skin.
