(Note: The sales sites listed on this page are presented as a starting point for your own research and for your convenience. I am not endorsing them or making any claims about the quality of service. Do your own research to find the best prices.)

Disclaimer:

A pain medication which works perfectly for one consumer may not work at all for another.

I make absolutely no guarantee that any product mentioned in this section will work for you or will work better or worse for you than another product.

For details, see my  Pain management intro page.

Based on clinical data and consumer feedback about available topical anesthetics, these four products stand out:

ELA-Max (best over the counter option)
EMLA (best prescription option)
Ametop
Betacaine LA

Although made by smaller manufacturers, Mento-kaine liquid and Stud 100 Spray can be good complements to the creams and gels listed above.
