Lidocaine spray can be bought online and already, it is touted as a hack on TikTok for women to wear their party heels. Should you try it? What do doctors think?
Wouldn’t it be a dream to put on your three-inch heels for a special evening out and not feel pain in your feet? No hot spot at the back of the heel that signals the emergence of an annoying blister. No burning sensation at the ball of the foot or where it arches. Not even your existing bunions are crying for relief.
TikToker @bondenavant is another fan. “My feet went instantly numb”, she posted in a video, which she titled “where has this been all my life”.Indeed, where has this seemingly miraculous foot spray been all your life? And more curiously, does it really work or is it just TikTok hype?Lidocaine spray is used as a local anaesthetic for the temporary relief of pain or discomfort.
Furthermore,"numbing your feet stops your body from providing pain feedback. You may risk unnoticed cuts or wounds, which may lead to nasty infections", according toCallaghan-Tay also warned against using lidocaine – especially if you are diabetic and have diabetic neuropathy. Patients with this condition already have numbness or limited sensation in their feet due to their damaged nerves, she said, which can make it difficult for them to sense blisters or a pebble in the shoe.
