Lidocaine passes through the skin into the blood. A strong cream spread over a wide area, left on too long or wrapped tightly can raise blood levels. Treat one area at a time, keep to the contact time and never apply it to broken or inflamed skin. Prilocaine adds a second limit: in high doses it can cause methaemoglobinaemia, so keep to small areas in sensitive patients. Stop and remove the cream if the patient reports dizziness, tingling around the mouth or ringing in the ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does Muchcaine 5% Plus compare with similar numbing creams?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose by formula.
