Xylocaine topical is used to relieve pain and temporarily numb specific areas of the skin. It acts as a local anesthetic by reducing nerve signals in the affected area, which helps relieve pain, burning, and itching. It is used in many conditions, such as relieving the pain of hemorrhoids, rectal inflammation, and mouth ulcers. It is also used before some minor medical procedures, such as injections or catheterization, to reduce discomfort. Xylocaine can also be used to relieve skin pain resulting from superficial burns or minor wounds.
Xylocaine is applied to clean, dry skin. It should be used in appropriate quantities according to the doctor's instructions. Avoid contact with the eyes or open areas of the body. It should not be used for long periods without consulting a doctor to avoid any side effects.
