Benzocaine
CAS#: 94-09-7
Benzocaine is a local anesthetic used to temporarily numb skin and mucous membranes. It works by blocking nerve signals, providing relief from pain and itching. It’s often found in over-the-counter products like oral gels and topical creams for minor discomforts like toothaches and skin irritations. However, caution is needed to avoid potential allergic reactions and adverse effects.
