Q: i had an allergic reaction to lidocaine injected in a pain shot. would i still have allergic reaction if i rub lidocaine 4% "icy hot" cream on my skin for pain?

: The likely reaction would differ but I would NEVER advise anyone with a documented allergic reaction to this drug, by injection or any other route of administration to ever expose themselves to it again.
