It is a spray or cream of local anesthetic which is either sprayed on the skin or applied as a cream to skin or gums.
Topical anesthesia is given as a cream (lidocaine cream) or spray, or it may be injected around an injury or prior to surgery.
Topical anesthesia refers to local anesthesia applied to the skin. This can come in the form of a cream or sometimes a spray.
Usually, it is given for eye surgery, implying local anesthetic drops into your eye, to numb up your eye for the surgery.
