A member asked:
I'm curious to know if benzocaine hcl can be mixed with a saline solution (sterile) and injected just under the skin for numbing purposes. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad idea: Benzocaine is designed for topical use and is not formulated for injection. Try using warm or cold soaks to relieve the discomfort and see your physician if the pain is severe.
