My son’s doctor recommended Calmoseptine Ointment (Zinc Oxide plus Calamine) for us to use on him  when he gets those itchy things on his neck. Prickly heat it was, the doctor said.

But when we bought the ointment, we found out it’s not only good for prickly heat. Calmoseptine, “a multipurpose moisture barrier ointment which protects, soothes, and helps promote healing,” is also ideal for skin irritations caused by urine (diaper rash), perspiration, wound, impetigo, minor burns, cuts, scrapes, chafing, hemorrhoids, fungus infection, allergic rashes… Very effective in managing/relieving skin itching, it could also be used as treatment for eczema. We’ve been using it in insect bites and pimples too.
