Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I am happy to help you.

Calosoft lotion generically contains calamine as main ingredient with aloe vera gel & light liquid paraffin. It has several benefit and acts as anti itching agent, anti inflammatory, emollient & moisturizer.

It is basically used to treat mild to moderate itching cases like sunburn, eczema, rashes, chickenpox, insect bites, stings etc. It gives soothing effect on applying over the affected skin. It also acts as a mild antiseptic.

It can be used in all above said conditions that you have mentioned. But in case of psoriasis or severe itching, you need to take other supportive medication to get more symptomatic relief. In such cases, you need to consult with a dermatologist.

Take healthy diet with complete avoidance of allergic food stuffs (like egg, prawn, crab, brinjal, cabbage etc) or environment. You can take anti oxidant (like Vit- E etc) supplements along with diet. Maintain genital hygiene properly and try to avoid stress/ tension by regular XXXXXXX breathing or yoga. Also you should take a sound sleep with complete relaxation to maintain healthy life style.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Wish your good health & take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
