4. Calamine Lotion

Most people remember calamine lotion as the soothing cream applied to chickenpox or poison ivy rashes. It can also help calm the pain and itchiness caused by a bee sting. For maximum effectiveness, carefully cleanse the sting area before applying calamine to remove natural oils that repel topical treatments. Smooth a thin layer of calamine onto the sting site and cover with a bandage if necessary. If calamine lotion is not enough to ease itching, you could be experiencing a more serious allergic reaction and may need medical care.
