Skin reaction from Lidocaine?03/03/2009 |
I had a wart a few months back, and after failing with the freezing treatment four times, I went to the emergency room (since I was in there anyway for strep throat), and I got it taken off. He injected my finger with lidocaine (I think...that`s what someone told me it was), and he burned it off.A little while later, my whole finger from the middle knuckle of the finger up is marred with red flaky skin that burns sometimes. It`s been constantly flaring up every two weeks, but the flakiness is always there. It`s only on the one finger, and it hasn`t spread it anything or anyone else.
What can I do to help this go down? Do I need to see someone about this?
Best to see a physician to figure out what's going on with the skin. Lidocaine allergy is not that common, but it exists. It could also be an after-effect of the burning/cauterization process.
