Lidocaine and cutting

[Tsundere]

I was curious and wanted to ask. :9 Would lidocaine work well in lessening the pain of cutting deeper?
Or would it have another effect/lead to something else?

I used lidocaine to numb areas if I hurt myself.
It made at-home maintenance a lot more comfortable.
I hope you can find another outlet, but yes, it will work.

How do you know it will work?

Sometimes you need to dig out wood or steel splinters. It made that unpleasant task tolerable.

It will work very poorly/not at all for deep cutting. Are you asking for ctb or self harm? If self harm, are you trying to avoid pain? I'm certainly not judging, it's just that pain is usually part of the process for most.

 

[Tsundere]

For self-harm. I was curious if it would have an effect if I were to use some the next time I cut deep again.
Just a thought I had when I saw some lidocaine at the pharmacy.

Lidocaine comes in a variety of strengths 4 or 5% will be the strongest likely available.
