What is numbing cream nipple piercing?

Numbing cream is a topical anesthetic that can be applied to the nipples before piercing to reduce pain and discomfort during the piercing procedure. It works by numbing the nerve endings in the skin, which temporarily block the sensation of pain.

Numbing cream is especially useful for people who have a low pain tolerance or are nervous about the pain of the piercing. It can also help to relax the muscles around the nipple, making it easier for the piercing needle to pass through.

However, it is important to note that numbing cream can have side effects such as skin irritation or allergic reactions. Additionally, it can interfere with the healing process of the piercing by making it difficult to detect any signs of infection or ingrown hairs.

Therefore, it is crucial to use numbing cream only as directed by a professional piercer and to follow proper aftercare procedures to ensure a successful and safe healing process.
