Is calonin a combination of lanolin and calamine lotion? have you tried doublebase gel or dermol 500? Both are OK for face and can be bought over the counter at Boots pharmacy depts

thank you so much. that's really kind as i am really struggling with the skin on my face, it is so itchy, inflammed and painful. calonin is a misspelling... i meant calamine lotion! sorry i haven't found a new magical potion!
