  1. topical anaesthesia

    Topical anaesthesia refers to a type of local anesthetic that is applied to body surfaces such as the skin or mucous membranes to numb the area and reduce pain or discomfort. It is commonly used during minor surgical procedures or in diagnosing conditions associated with nerve impingement, damage, or irritation. These anesthetic agents can be delivered through creams, gels, sprays, or ointments, and work by blocking the nerves in a specific area from sending pain signals to the brain. It does not typically cause complete loss of sensation, but rather reduces sensations of pain or discomfort.
