For those of you who follow my posts and know of Kates condition. I want to say that today she went to a dermatologist who was going to be removing some dead tissue from a wound. The doctor used a 4% Lidocaine solution put into a hand cream looking substance before the extraction. After ten minutes there was no pain from the effort and for the first time in about six months she was able to go through the procedure without pain.
I am elating this information to any and all in the effort to help alleviate any pain someone else may go through.
Lidocaine is good stuff. It's hard to beat. Hope the wound heals. (I don't know your Kate's situation, but if there is any risk of MRSA, crude cannabinoid oil is effective. Other extracts that can help include Tea Tree oil and from Thuja Orientalis.)
Thank you for the information and the concern.
