Ego Numit 5% Cream 30g
Ego Numit 5% Cream is a topical local anaesthetic designed to temporarily numb the skin for quick, needle-related and minor dermatological procedures. Formulated with a balanced combination of lignocaine (lidocaine) and prilocaine, it blocks nerve signals in the area where it’s applied, helping reduce the pain of vaccinations, blood tests, cannula insertion, superficial skin procedures and similar short, minor interventions.
The soft, non-greasy cream spreads easily and is typically used under an occlusive dressing to enhance penetration on intact skin. Onset generally begins within 30–60 minutes and the numbing effect continues for a short period after removal, helping you or your child feel more comfortable at the time of the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I use Ego Numit 5% Cream?
A: Apply a thick layer to clean, intact skin (do not rub in). Cover with an occlusive dressing to keep it in place. Typical application time is 30–60 minutes before a needle procedure on intact skin. Remove the cream, cleanse the area, then proceed with the procedure. Always follow the label or your healthcare professional’s directions.
Q: How much should I apply?
A: Use enough to form a visible, thick layer over the target area (do not exceed the area/duration advised on the label). For children, follow age-appropriate directions from your pharmacist or doctor.
Q: Can I use it on broken or irritated skin?
A: No. Use on intact skin only unless a health professional instructs otherwise.
Q: How long does the numbness last?
A: On intact skin, onset is usually within 30–60 minutes with an occlusive dressing; numbing may persist for a short period after removal. Duration varies by site, thickness applied and individual sensitivity.
Q: Is it suitable for children?
A: It’s often used to reduce needle pain in children. Strictly follow the age-specific directions on the label and your pharmacist’s guidance (application area and time are important).
Q: What side effects can occur?
A: Possible local skin reactions such as redness, pallor, swelling, itching or burning. Rarely, systemic effects (e.g., signs of methaemoglobinaemia such as grey/blue lips or unusual tiredness) can occur—stop use and seek urgent medical advice if any concerning symptoms develop.
Q: Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
A: Ask your health professional to confirm suitability for your individual situation.
Q: Do I need a dressing?
A: Yes—on intact skin, an occlusive dressing helps the anaesthetic penetrate effectively and keeps the cream in place until removal.
