What is the best numbing cream for piercings other than dr.numb?

Question

I am getting my nipples pierced for the second time. My surgeon cleared me after I have gone breast augmentation surgery. I don't remember my first experience and I want to apply something on my nipples to ease the quick pain. any suggestions would help. Thank you

Larry Weinstein, MD · Answer

Best numbing cream is a cream eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine. Ice is helpful as well. All my patients have left their nipple rings out after several years, the novelty wears off. If you were my cousin, daughter, friend or patient, I would advise against nipple piercing. Good luck and talk to someone who cares about you. Good luck...

Todd C. Case, MD · Answer

The best numbing creams are compounded at a compounding pharmacy.  The simplest and easiest thing is to use icing.
