Can Calamine Lotion Be Used In A Child For Itching On Body?

Hi my 3 year old daughter is having an episode of HSP, she was Diognosed with Henoch-Schonlein Papura 3 weeks ago. Her first rash was very typial to the HSP rash almost like blood blisters under the skin, although yesterday she has come out in a rash that is almost like welts and some of the sections have broken skin almost like little pimples. Is it safe to use Calamine lotion to help with the itchiness?
