Always apply lidocaine cream exactly as directed on the product label. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage unless instructed by a doctor.
Some people experience mild side effects like skin irritation, redness, or burning at the application site. These usually subside quickly. However, discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation persists or worsens.
Rarely, more serious reactions such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing) can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any allergic symptoms.
Do not use lidocaine cream for longer than recommended. Excessive or prolonged use can lead to skin absorption and potential systemic effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using lidocaine cream.
Keep lidocaine cream out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion can be dangerous. If ingestion occurs, contact a poison control center or emergency services immediately.
