This cream works by blocking nerve signals in the body, which numbs the skin where it's applied. Benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine all function as local anesthetics, helping to reduce discomfort and pain quickly after application.
Do not use if you are allergic to benzocaine, lidocaine, tetracaine, or any components of this cream. Avoid use on broken or inflamed skin. Do not use if you have a rare blood condition called methemoglobinemia. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
This cream may interact with other topical medications containing local anesthetics. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are using. Avoid using with other skin products on the same area.
Common side effects (affects 1-10% of users): mild burning, redness, or irritation at the application site. Rare but serious: allergic reactions including rash, swelling, severe dizziness, or breathing trouble. Stop use and seek immediate medical attention if serious reactions occur.
