Product introduction

Dermocalm Calamine & Light Liquid Paraffin Lotion is a topical medicine used to relieve itching and soothe dry, irritated, or inflamed skin. It helps calm redness and itching while forming a protective layer that locks in moisture, prevents dryness, and helps protect and soften the skin.

Apply Dermocalm Calamine & Light Liquid Paraffin Lotion directly to the affected skin area as advised by your doctor. It can be used by adults, children, and the elderly. For best results, use it regularly and keep the skin clean and moisturized. Avoid using other skin products on the same area unless directed by the doctor. Dermocalm Calamine & Light Liquid Paraffin Lotion is only for external use; do not swallow or apply it to broken or infected skin.


Dermocalm Calamine & Light Liquid Paraffin Lotion is generally well-tolerated with little or no side effects. However, some people may experience mild skin reactions like redness, itching, or irritation at the site of application. If you notice any of these symptoms, stop using the lotion and talk to your doctor. Avoid scratching the affected area and wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce irritation.


Do not use Dermocalm Calamine & Light Liquid Paraffin Lotion if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Use it with caution around open flames or heat sources, as fabrics like clothing and bedding that come in contact with paraffin-based products can catch fire more easily. If your skin gets worse or you develop a rash after using the product, stop using it and consult your doctor.

How Dermocalm Lotion works

Dermocalm Calamine & Light Liquid Paraffin Lotion is composed of calamine and paraffin liquid. Calamine has soothing, anti-itch, and mild antiseptic properties. It works by forming a cooling protective layer over the skin that helps relieve itching, irritation, and minor skin discomfort. It also helps to absorb excess oil and moisture. Paraffin Liquid is an emollient that forms an oily layer on the skin surface, trapping moisture in and preventing dryness. It softens and hydrates dry, flaky, or irritated skin. Together, they provide a calming and moisturizing effect on the skin, relieving itching, reducing irritation, and maintaining skin hydration.
