Temporarily relieves pain and itching associated with minor burns, cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and skin irritations. Also used to protect the skin and promote healing of minor wounds.

Lidocaine works as a local anesthetic by blocking nerve signals in the skin to temporarily numb the area and reduce pain sensation. Allantoin and petrolatum act as skin protectants by forming a barrier that locks in moisture and helps soothe irritated skin.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not apply to large areas of the body or use on deep wounds. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or persist beyond 7 days. Keep out of reach of children.
