Is Lidocaine Safe To Be Used For Facial Skin Allergy?
My daughter followed a pinterest suggestion for a facial using baking soda and coconut oil. Her skin had a reaction to this combo. I have applied hydrocortisone cream but it doesn t lessen the pain. Can I apply small amounts of lidocaine cream to help sooth the irritation? She is in her third trimester of pregnancy

She might have burnt her skin....Yes hydrocortisone cream is a way opt for the condition...For the pain use plain paracetamol tablet...Dont apply lidocaine over the burned area as it may deteriorate the condition...Best is to consult a doc so that he can see the extent of damage and rule out any secondary infection...thanks
