topical analgesic
Numbing cream for skin
A topical analgesic is a pain-relieving medication applied directly to the skin rather than taken internally.
These creams, gels, patches, and sprays work on the tissue beneath the application site: She rubbed a topical analgesic on her sore shoulder.
Common active ingredients include menthol, capsaicin, and lidocaine.
