What is Lanacane Cream?

Lanacane is a medicated, anaesthetic cooling cream which provides fast-acting relief from itching and irritation on the skin. It works underneath the skin to anaesthetise the sensory nerves to stop itching and eliminate the urge to scratch. The soothing formula is easy to apply and provides a protective barrier over the affected area, to prevent further irritation and to stop you from scratching which can make the itching sensation worse and cause infection. If you’re looking for an effective soothing treatment for itchy and irritated skin, try Lanacane Cream.
