Thanks LAgirl.
One other question on EMLA - once you’ve applied it and left it on for the proper amount of time, how are you supposed to remove it? Is it okay to wash it off with a moist towel?
I’ll have to remove it before I go to my appointment (will take about 45 mins to get from my place to the clinic, but that should be okay according to the instructions, as the effects last for two hours after removing the cream).
