# For Numbing
# Lidocaine, Lignocaine
Lidocaine is an anesthetic that can be injected around the edges of a
wound to make the area numb so it will not hurt. This is useful
before cleaning or stitching up a wound.
Lidocaine often comes in a 2% solution which is 20 mg of lidocaine
per ml. If you have a different percent (%) solution, adjust the
amount you use.
## How to use
Injection
Slowly inject into and under the skin around where you are going to
cut or sew, at points about 1 cm apart. Inject the lidocaine close
to the surface of the skin. Use about 1 ml of lidocaine for each 2
cm of skin. Do not use more than 20 ml.
