Lidocaine Ointment

Lidocaine ointment is a topical medication that helps relieve pain or discomfort on the skin. It works by numbing the area where it’s applied, blocking nerve signals that transmit pain sensations. Commonly used for minor skin injuries, itching, or before procedures like injections, it provides localized relief without affecting the whole body. The ointment is typically applied a few times a day, and relief usually occurs quickly. It’s generally safe when used as directed, but overuse or sensitive skin may cause irritation. Always follow the instructions or consult a healthcare professional for proper use.
