Pramoxine is a topical (applied to the skin) anesthetic. It works by interfering with pain signals
sent from the nerves to the brain.
Pramoxine topical is used to treat pain or itching caused by insect bites, minor burns or scrapes,
hemorrhoids, and minor skin rash, dryness, or itching. Pramoxine topical is also used to treat chapped
lips, and pain or skin irritation caused by coming into contact with poison ivy, poison oak, or poison
sumac.
Pramoxine topical may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication
guide.
