Résumé

Prescription and over-the-counter topical anesthetics are commonly used. Although allergy to amide and ester anesthetics is known, little has been reported on the nonamide, nonester pramoxine (pramocaine). This article briefly reviews allergy to topical anesthetics, provides detailed information on pramoxine, and describes characteristics of multiple patients with positive, relevant reactions to pramoxine.
