What is Aspercreme Lidocaine?
Aspercreme Lidocaine is an over-the-counter ointment that relieves pain due to minor skin injuries, such as cuts, scrapes, insect bites, poisonous plants, sunburns, and first-degree burns.
The active ingredient in Aspercreme Lidocaine, lidocaine, belongs to a class of drugs called local anesthetics which “numb” the tissues by shutting down nerve signals. As a result, Aspercreme Lidocaine temporarily relieves pain at the site of the wound or burn.
Aspercreme Lidocaine is applied as an ointment over the affected skin area two to three times a day. Only apply Aspercreme Lidocaine small patches of skin.
