Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Local anesthetics are commonly used in over-the-counter products for sunburns, insect bites, and hemorrhoids to relieve pain and itching. General or systemic anesthetics are not appropriate for these types of conditions as they are intended for more invasive medical procedures. Dermal anesthetics may also be used in these products, but only in conjunction with a local anesthetic agent.
