My daughter is 18 months old. Could anyone please suggest some kind of soothing lotion which will lessen the itching after mosquitoes bite at night. Will Calamine or Caladryl lotion will help in this case and is it safe to use for babies? Please suggest.

Calamine is not used if insect bite reaction. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment. She may be having prurigo which is sensitivity to insect bites and is common in children.
