Avatar f tn Look at the ingredients on the bottle. Benzocaine is mostly made up of lidocaine -a numbing agent in no way related to cocaine. You are more likely to test positive for THC (pot) from using motrin.
Avatar n tn About 10 days ago I tried benzocaine wipes on my penis to delay premature ejaculation. Around 7 days ago I noticed some persistent erectile dysfunction and numbness. It’s been a week and the numbness has improved slightly but I have no libido, no ability to get erections, and a consistent pins and needles sensation. Could this be prolonged effects of the benzocaine? Or is this nerve damage? Benzocaine was topical and doctor said I should have nothing to worry about and it should subside.
Avatar m tn This can be overcome by using preservative-free lidocaine. In case of true allergy another class of anesthetics, the esters like benzocaine can be tried. Discuss all the options with your doctor before consenting for surgery. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. This must be very frustrating. You've not found anything skin related? Neurological itch does happen. Here's an article that is very interesting on the subject. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3139924/ This article talks about neurological itch and that often, the place that is itching is not where the abnormality is that is causing the itch. They will need to determine where it is coming from.
Avatar f tn Hi, It’s always advisable to wash the penis after using the benzocaine condoms since there are definite chances of benzocaine getting absorbed giving rise to the abnormal symptoms you are going through. It’s also important to use the right size condom otherwise the benzocaine may spill over and one’s partner may have to face the brunt of the side effects which can be really troublesome. Please don’t worry the effects don’t last that long and you should be okay. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar f tn Im a 23 year old male and bout 7 weeks ago, I used some benzocaine on a couple of occasion and ever since then, I've felt like my whole body has a loss of sensation. My teeth used to be very sensitive to hot and cold temps, now i can actually chew ice. Its very weird. I noticed that my skin has turned pale, which is slowly improving, and that cuts and scraps on my body will barely bleed. I really don't know what is going on but it seems to be something systemic.

Avatar n tn t have a premature ejaculation problem, I decided to try out condoms with benzocaine just for a change. I used it twice a day everyday for about 12 days (we were on our honeymoon) and at around two weeks, it started to numb my penis and I started having a hard time maintaining the erection. I didn't attribute the problem to the condom, and continued using it every 3 or 4 days. Each time it became worse.
Avatar f tn The only other time I have experienced any redness is from giving myself contact dermatitis in my vagina from too much aspercream with lidocaine down there. Am now just using coconut oil with lidocaine for pain and started a ssri. Saw a pain doctor who believes my pain is viral in nature-maybe shingles recurrence (which I have had in the past but not in groin area). Have you ever heard of any cases of herpes like this??
Avatar n tn My climax delay condoms have a 5% benzocaine gel inside. Is it safe to use 2 or 3 of these condoms in a row (for example within 2 hours)?
Avatar m tn The CSW claimed to be HIV negative and also claimed that she gets tested regularly. I had wore two condoms(containing benzocaine) which were intact for the entire part of sex except when the benzocaine started burning my penis, I withdrew my penis, removed the condoms, put on another one(single) and continued sex. Post the intercourse I removed the condom and washed my penis with soap and water immediately. I was so terrified post that episode that I took COMBIVIR twice a day for 19 days.
Avatar f tn Since the lab work is coming back normal nobody knows what to do. I started having all of these symptoms after using benzocaine a couple of times. This was over two months ago. I know benzocaine is supposed to be quickly absorbed through the system but it has affected me in a different way, unless there was some other chemical mixed in with the benzocaine. I really don't know what's going on and i work in the medical profession.
Avatar f tn like a true allergy but a CNS reaction. Lidocaine/ Xylocaine/ Benzocaine (that whole family) is the worst. It took a while to figure that one out. After myelograms, I reacted and was hospitalized. I was unable to stand (I already had right leg weakness and a gait disturbance but WHOA was it worse now)! I was confined to bed with a portapotty and pressure cuffs initially. I had increased abnormal reflexes.
Avatar n tn The radiofrequency neurolysis is a good procedure for temporal tendonitis if that is what you have. Lidocaine/cortisone injections are equally effective. Both may need to be repeated. The big issue is why you may have temporal tendonitis---usually from clenching/bruxing associated with TMJ pain or sleep disordered breathing. Follow scottma's advice and find a qualified orofacial pain specialist and get a correct diagnosis.
2121656 tn?1395674749 s a simple procedure. Done with lidocaine in the office. In inserts pellets into the buttocks. Has anyone every heard of this procedure before? Also, if I could get some feedback on what my friends here think about such. Also, after reading the difference of being treated with pharmaceutial hormone replacement therapy vs. bio-idenitical hormone replacement therapy. I'm seriously thinking of going with the latter of the two. Is anyone receiving bio-idenitical hormone replacement?
1378884 tn?1315505845 My Mom generally gets very little or very short term (a few days) of relief from an injection. They give her a mixture of Kenalog (liquid prednisone) and lidocaine, a numbing agent. It seems like as soon as the lidocaine wears off, the pain is back. Keep us posted as to how you're doing! Good luck!!
Avatar m tn my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches. advice as to where to put the needle (i got from cvs insulin 31g-8mm),what to expect ie: will it burn- how long b4 its numb, and if i split the nail will it grow back? any advice will help..
1571533 tn?1322943509 Hey. I went to my PCP yesterday and he gave me a LIDODERM, a lidocaine patch, to try and help with the pain in my neck -he thinks if that calms down so will the migraines.. theyve been everyday constantly for well over a month and a half, and no meds help.. nor do therapeutic methods i have here at home.. Has anyone here used it before? And did it help? I tried to use it last night but it wouldnt stick to my neck.
Avatar f tn Avoid hemorrhoid creams that contain anesthetics such as benzocaine. These may temporarily relieve pain, but can cause allergic side effects.
Avatar n tn Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
