Calamine, being an astringent precipitates proteins locally around the cells of the damaged skin.

Calamine hardens the walls of blood vessels (capillaries), thereby stopping oozing out of plasma preventing pruritus, erythema, pain and swelling. Additionally, calamine acts as antiperspirant and deodorant.
