A member asked:
Can you tell me about using icdocane and prilocaine cream for getting blood taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will numb your skin: Lidocaine or prilocaine cream will numb your skin. They sometimes take time to work, about 20 minutes. Having blood taken is minimally painful and feels like a mosquito bite, therefore the use of such cream is not really necessary. It is commonly used for children.
