Lidocaine.

I read on this forum that lidocaine helps with the rectal swellings and splits and itching of peri-anal crohn's?. Is this stuff sold OTC? I went to Wal-Mart pharmacy today and asked for it, and she seemed hesitant as to what I wanted? She lead me to the ointment department and pulled out Lanacane, well when I got home, reading the fine print, I don't think the two are related? What form does lidocaine come in? Where can I buy it?

You can also use perianal lidacaine spray. Thats a prescription as well.

I figured it was a prescription? I have to visit the GI in little over a week so will ask him for it. Think I would prefer the ointment, my aim will be better than the spray, LoL Is it expensive?

Thank you Susie
