Troubleshooting

Cream does not seem to be numbing the skin effectively.

Ensure the cream was applied at least 30 minutes prior to the procedure and a sufficient amount was used for the area. Check that the skin was clean and dry before application. Reapply if necessary, following dosage guidelines.

Mild skin irritation (redness, itching) occurs after application.

This can be a mild side effect. If symptoms are bothersome, gently wash the area with mild soap and water. If irritation persists or worsens, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Difficulty removing the cream before the procedure.

Use a clean, sterile wipe or gauze pad to gently remove the cream. Avoid rubbing vigorously to prevent skin irritation. Ensure all residue is removed as per procedure protocol.
