I've been using Lidocaine/Prilocaine 5% Cream for a while now, and while it does the job of numbing the skin, I've had some weird side effects and reactions I wasn't prepared for. I've been trying to find out if anyone else has any issues with this stuff, I've had everything from serious allergic reactions on my skin to some other issues. I've been thinking about switching, but I'm not sure what else to use. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Any recommendations for alternatives? I've tried looking up the side effects, but there's not a lot of information out there. Maybe someone here has some insight or experience to share?
