Hi there XXXXXXX!
At 82, you are better off seeing your GP or dermatologist young man!
I would not meddle with a good thing so if the calamine lotion is helping you by all means do continue.
However, you do say the legs felt heavy & pain & pins & needles et al; hence my worry.
A doppler study of both legs would be my recommendation.
Take it forward from there!
Good Luck & wish you continued Good health & a Great life! Cheers!
