Cutaneous Localised Anaesthesia

Cutaneous localised anaesthesia is temporary numbing of a small area of skin. It can be used before procedures affecting the skin, helping limit sensation in that localised area.

Key points

  • Reversible numbness affects a defined area rather than the whole body.
  • Topical preparations are applied to the skin for cutaneous use.
  • Nerve signals are reduced when local anaesthetic agents block sodium channels in tissue.
