A member asked:

Is there any type of anasthesia that i can use before removing the hair in the pubic area , that doesn't harm that area ?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Numbing cream: You can use a topical numbing cream that contains lidocaine. It's sometimes combined with tetracaine and other numbing agents.

Anesth for hair remo: Probably the most effective thing to take is Emla (lidocaine and prilocaine) cream. I will require a prescription but if very effective when used the proper way.
