stefany200927 says "The fastest treatment for poison ivy!" about Swan Calamine Lotion

I love this. It worked really well on my children. My children caught poison ivy and I bought this, it didn't cost very much it was very inexpensive and i was surprised at how fast and how well it worked. Within an hour they weren't itching as bad and in a week and a half my kids were clearing up reallly really well, the poison ivy was really clearing up really fast. I couldn't believe how fast that this stuff really worked. It dries almost immediatley when put on the skin. It doesn't have a really bad strong smell like other medicines for poison ivy do. My kids weren't scratching all day long. Just apply it twice a day and don't let them wash it off and it really does it's job. It done better for my children than having to take them to the doctor and getting those painful shots for poison ivy. It is painless, it immeadialty soothes and cools their skin. And heals it faster than those painful shots and no crying because they have to go to the doctor and get a shot. It is a lot cheaper...

chiobiker2011 says "Takes the itch out of the rash!" about Swan Calamine Lotion

The Swan calamine lotion brand has been a fixture in our medicine cabinet now for years as it has been a lifesaver when someone in the family happens to come across a nasty case of poison ivy. The lotion definitely is a lifesaver and soothes itchy skin and helps scabs heal over quickly so that infection will not set in. The product is also very helpful when you have multiple bug bites all over your legs. I would recommend to quickly apply the product as soon as the problem begins so that healing time is minimized. The lotion itself sometimes leaves residue around the area if it is not fully rubbed in, but sometimes I think it has a more soothing effect if you just let it soak in gradually. This lotion is generally found in most stores I have found in the medical lotion section. It is about the same price as similar lotions, but I have just found this product to be a trusted brand over the years, and we will stick with it.

CynthiaAnnJones says "Old faithful for a great price." about Swan Calamine Lotion

Wow, this stuff has been around forever and still tops the list of effective home treatments for poison ivy, oak, and sumac, as well as a thousand and one other small injuries or conditions kids and parents encounter through camping, gardening, or even just a hike.

With allergic reactions so widespread, keeping a bottle of calamine lotion is always a great idea, but some stores charge around $5 for a bottle. Swan is just as good and costs a fraction of that no matter where you find it. I am glad companies like Swan still offer a reasonable price for their very excellent products. They have a whole line and can usually be found at dollar stores or other discount stores.

There is virtually no difference between Swan calamine lotion and the higher priced brand I bought at a local drugstore, but the price was much higher. The only difference I could find was the scent, which is very mild anyway.

Calamine will help relieve my kids itch. I don't know if it makes the bite heal quicker, but I know for sure the kids don't itch it when the lotion is on. Whether it is mosquito or flea bites it helps relieve the itch.

RhondaHoriuchi says "inexpensive effeective treatment!!!" about Swan Calamine Lotion

RhondaHoriuchi — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:34:33 GMT

The Swan calamine lotion is an inexpensive, affordable way to treat your itchy problems. My son is allergic to mosquito bites, bugs bites and just about every other bug out there that butes. He becomes very irritated, red and itchy. We always reach for the swan calamine lotion (he always asks for the pink itch stuff) and within minutes of applying, he is itch free. This is probably one of the easiest ways to alleviate itchy skin from bug bites, to poison ivy to even an itchy rash, This is an affordable, lasting lotion that has been around for many, many years. There isn't much of an odor and it is not at all painful when applying. So if your child is afraid that it is going to burn when you put it on, assure them that this brand does not, and will not hurt them! It is a thick, creamy lotion that soothes, the skin and gives lasting relief from itchy skin. This calamine lotion is fantastic!

Calamine lotion (used to be sold under Calydryl name) is the only one of its kind that I've found to actually pull a bee stinger OUT! Now, THAT's working!

BayouBengal says "Swan Calamine Lotion Cures the Itch" about Swan Calamine Lotion

BayouBengal — Fri, 01 May 2009 03:05:36 GMT

Swan's Calamine Lotion is a product that every household should have in the medicine cabinet. It is great for relieving itching due to allergic reactions to poisen oak and ivy and other things outdoors. I have sensitive skin and never know when something is going to break me out. My husband is allergic to flea bites and Swan Calamine Lotion works quickly to take away the itch.

Swan Calamine Lotion comes in several different size bottles. I usually keep a small bottle of 2 or 4 ounces at home because it will dry up if stored too long. The medication is a pink liquid formula that is easy to apply to bites or rashes with a simple cotton ball. Swan Calamine Lotion dries quickly and leaves a light pink spot as it dries. A small bottle usually costs around $2.00 to $4.00 and can be found in any store that carries first aid supplies.

Swan Calamine Lotion is the one medication my kids did not mind getting. They frequently would get into ants or poison ivy/oak and be miserable...

kids4rdogs says "Works Wonderful" about Swan Calamine Lotion

Swan Calamine Lotion works great for those occasional bug bites or rashes. I have two bottles of this in the medicine cabinet at all times. We take this camping with us when we go. My kids don't even mind being pink all over, because this works so well. My boys are forever getting into itch weed or poison ivy and have been coated in Swan Calamine Lotion and it stops the itching and stops the speading of it as well. This is inexpensive medicine to use and can be bought just about anywhere. I recommend this to any parent with active kids.

cdentzer says "Swan Calamine Lotion inexpensive but works great!" about Swan Calamine Lotion

cdentzer — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:56:22 GMT

Swan Calamine Lotion has been around a long time. I can remember when I was little my mother covering me with it when I had poison ivy. It soothes the itch and makes it more bearable. Calamine Lotion is something everyone should always have on hand in their medicine cabinets. It's so affordable which is great, so almost anyone can afford it. Some over the counter treatments are so expensive.

I also used it on my kids for chicken pox, rashes, and when they got into poison ivy too.

I love that it has no smell, although you can clearly see it on your skin.

Its inexpensive and works great.
