My daughter is getting her ears pierced in a few days. i was looking for numbing cream to put on before she gets them done. does lmx 4 work?

It can, but...: I like for my patients to use EMLA (lidocaine and prilocaine) cream instead. It is made to penetrate intact skin and is specifically made for this (and many other) situations.
