Does Numbskin numbing cream contain the highest level of lidocaine at 10.56% or is there another one that is higher?

Hi, Thank you for your post. We have our numbing cream compounded for us. It is Lidocaine/prilocaine 20%/Phenylep 0.25%. In order to get a stronger Lidocaine you will need a prescription.  This can only be used in small areas.

There are more potent creams available in doctors' offices, often compounded specifically to the doctors' requirements.  Lidocaine can have toxic and even fatal effects; that's why it isn't dispensed willy-nilly.

I recommend following up with your Doctor about numbing cream during your procedure. Most Doctor's will have their preferred method. In our office, we use a compounded 30% numbing cream that makes all our procedures painless. We also use oral medications and nerve blocks, when necessary.  Best,  Dr. Emer.

Interesting question, I use a triple numbing cream solution mixed with adrenaline in order to reduce bruising. It has to made by a special pharmacy though so speak to your doc before your procedure

we use a benzocaine 20%/tetracaine6%/lidocaine4% compounded cream which our patients really like  but i is only available by prescription.  Good luck! DSR

The answer to your question is NO.  We have a 21% Lidocaine cream compounded that we use in my office.
