Uses / Indications:
People use Cremagel 2% Gel for:
Pain alleviation in the area of small wounds, burns, and insect bites
Gum soreness or mouth sores
Before dental work or minor surgery
Pain in the anus (like fissures or hemorrhoids)
Numbing the skin before giving injections or putting in a catheter
Pregnancy interaction:
When administered on the skin and in the right doses, lidocaine is generally thought to be safe during pregnancy.
It shouldn't harm the baby, but it should only be used if absolutely necessary and under a doctor's care.
Avoid putting it on big or damaged skin regions because too much absorption could raise the hazards.
Summary: ✅ Safe to use outside and only sometimes under medical supervision. ⚠️ Talk to a doctor before using when pregnant or breastfeeding.
Expert advice:
Apply the treatment only to the affected area and use minimal amounts.
Before and after application, wash your hands.
Unless your doctor tells you to, use breathable cloths to cover the area.
Don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Taking too much of it may cause systemic absorption, which can produce negative effects like dizziness or an erratic heartbeat.
If you see numbness spreading, dizziness, or a rash on your skin, stop using it and visit a doctor.
Side Effects:
Normal:
A little stinging or redness at the application's location
Tingling or numbness that goes away
A little bit of itching
Very serious (rare):
An allergic reaction might cause a rash, swelling, or trouble breathing.
Feeling dizzy or confused
Heartbeats that aren't regular (with too much absorption)
If you experience a serious reaction, please discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
How to use:
Before using, make sure the area is clean and dry.
Use clean fingertips to spread the gel out in a thin, equal layer.
Don't use more than what your doctor says or on huge areas of skin.
Use a cotton bud to gently apply to mouth ulcers.
Don't eat or drink anything for 30 minutes after putting it on your mouth.
After using, wash your hands well.
How it works:
Lidocaine stops sodium channels from working in nerve terminals.
This stops pain signals from getting to the brain.
The area then becomes numb and pain-free for a short time.
