Lidocaine/prilocaine cream is a topical anesthetic commonly used in pediatric and dermatologic practice to obtain local anesthesia. Common side effects include: transient skin blanching, erythema, urticaria, allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, and hyperpigmentation. The authors report a petechial and purpuric reaction after the application of lidocaine/prilocaine cream. This is a rare side effect, since to our knowledge only few case reports have been documented in literature.

Article Synopsis
- Vaginal pessaries are a cost-effective, non-surgical option for treating pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, but their maintenance can cause pain.
- This study aimed to compare the pain-reducing effects of lidocaine HCl 2% jelly to those of standard lubricating jelly during pessary maintenance exams.
- Conducted as a randomized clinical trial with 66 female participants, the study measured pain levels using a visual analog scale, ultimately assessing if lidocaine HCl jelly provided better pain relief compared to lubricating jelly.
