• Calamine is a medical lotion used mostly when ants bite, as ant bites are acidic, calamine being basic neutralizes the acidic effect and the pain.
• Apart from being used in insect bites, calamine also treats sunburns and other skin irritations. For example -  when the skin is infected by poisonous ivy or poison oak or whether it is just a skin rash.
