Can I Continue Calamine Lotion For Heat Rash?

I have a heat rash that I got after I got a sunburn. The skin where the rash is was freshly peeled and a little raw. I have read several places to use calamine lotions and keep things dry (to help unclog sweat glands) but i also read that it needs to stay moisturized with aloe or coco butter ( which i think may be good since that skin is still dehydrated from my sunburn which was quite severe) so my question is: should i continue to use calamine lotion? should i go ahead and use those moisturizers?
