Does anyone know a really good brand of numbing cream in the U.K.? I need to do painful injections so I'll need to numb the site beforehand. Or any to avoid

I used to use emla cream, you need to buy it from an online pharmacy but it’s easy enough to find 😀 x x x

Great thanks!

Emla or ametop. I’m a kids nurse and we use these all the time. They need to be on about 45 mins before to work x
