How Lidocaine Works as a Local Anesthetic

Lidocaine is the active ingredient in this ointment. As a local anesthetic, it blocks nerve signals in the treated area. When applied to the skin or mucous membranes, it numbs the surface and reduces the feeling of pain.

The numbing effect usually begins within a few minutes of application. Relief is temporary, so the product can be reapplied as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.

Common Uses of Xylocaine 5%

Xylocaine 5% is widely used for surface pain relief. Its most common uses include:

• Soothing pain and itching from hemorrhoids
• Easing discomfort from anal fissures
• Numbing minor cuts, scrapes, and burns
• Reducing irritation from insect bites
• Providing comfort before minor skin procedures

For hemorrhoids and piles, this ointment may help reduce burning, soreness, and itching around the affected area. This can make sitting and movement more comfortable while the area heals.
