Table of contents:

Lanacane cream is an over-the-counter topical analgesic used to provide temporary relief from skin irritations and minor pain. It can be used to relieve pain and itching associated with minor skin irritations such as insect bites, sunburn, poison ivy, and other similar conditions. It contains benzocaine as the active ingredient, which is a topical local anesthetic that works by numbing the nerve endings and reducing pain and itching.

Lanacane cream is a popular topical treatment for minor skin irritations. It is often used to help soothe and heal cuts, scrapes, burns, and sunburns. The cream can be used to protect the skin from further irritation or damage, as well as provide relief from itching and discomfort caused by bug bites or rashes. It has antibacterial properties, helping to prevent infection at the site of skin irritation.
