lidocaine cream - #17295
I’ve been dealing with this weird skin sensitivity for months now, and I can’t figure out what’s causing it. It started as a mild irritation on my lower back, but now it spreads to my arms and thighs randomly. It’s not exactly a rash, just this burning and tingling feeling that makes my skin feel raw. My doctor didn’t find any major issues and just prescribed lidocaine cream to numb the area. It helps for a while, but once it wears off, the discomfort comes back like nothing changed. I don’t wanna keep using lidocaine cream all the time because it’s just covering up the problem, not solving it. Also, I noticed that after using it for a few weeks, my skin feels kinda dry and weirdly numb in patches. I read somewhere that using too much lidocaine cream can cause side effects, so now I’m worried about relying on it too much. Since doctors aren’t giving me a real answer, I started looking into Ayurveda to see if there’s something that actually treats this from the inside. Could this be a pitta imbalance or something related to nerves? Are there herbs or oils that work like lidocaine cream but naturally, without the side effects? Also, should I be changing my diet or avoiding certain foods that might be triggering this skin issue? If I stop using lidocaine cream, is there an Ayurvedic alternative that gives the same relief while actually healing the problem? I just want my skin to feel normal again without needing to numb it all the time.
