Emla:

EMLA Cream should not be used in areas with skin rash, open wounds, or other forms of irritation. Patients with leg ulcers should consult their physician before using Emla. In addition, users should avoid direct contact with very hot or cold surfaces while the cream is in effect. Also, if you have liver disease, genetic enzyme deficiency, or a history of eczema, you should not use Emla Cream.

Lidocaine:

You can numb your skin using lidocaine cream. There are different brands of topical lidocaine creams. These creams contain a combination of local anesthetics and must be used according to the instructions on the label. These creams are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and it’s important to read the instructions carefully. You should also consult your healthcare provider before using lidocaine cream.

NumbSkin:

The NumbSkin cream is a topical anesthetic that temporarily dulls the skin. It is very easy to apply and is free of unpleasant effects. There are different types of NumbSkin cream. Each one works differently. One tube covers up to 60 square inches. However, you may need to apply more than one coat for an extended anesthetic effect. If you prepare the skin for a cosmetic procedure, it is important to use the proper NumbSkin cream type.

Atop gel:

Atop numbing gel-cream is a topical anesthetic cream that contains 4% w/w tetracaine. It blocks pain signals and numbs the skin where it is applied.
