Calamine lotion is generally safe for use during pregnancy. It typically provides a cooling, antipruritic effect and helps soothe and protect the skin. If a pregnant woman experiences skin itching, topical application of calamine lotion may be used to relieve itching without adversely affecting fetal health. However, specific use should strictly follow medical advice.
