A member asked:
Has anyone had any experience using emla (lidocaine and prilocaine) numbing cream for piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Used in kids: I've heard it being used on kids when they get earpiercings. It's a topical anesthetic, kinda like novacaine. It's not perfect, but it does numb the area.
