Lox 2% jelly, containing lidocaine, can provide temporary numbing relief for painful intercourse due to lack of lubrication. However, it's essential to use it with caution: *Safety Precautions* 1. *Consult your doctor*: Before using Lox 2% jelly, consult your doctor, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or allergies. 2. *Use as directed*: Follow the instructions carefully, and apply the jelly only to the affected area. 3. *Avoid excessive use*: Don't use more than the recommended amount, as this can lead to prolonged numbness or other adverse effects. *Alternative Solutions* 1. *Water-based lubricants*: Consider using water-based lubricants, like K-Y Jelly or Astroglide, which can help reduce friction and discomfort during intercourse. 2. *Hormonal treatments*: If you're experiencing vaginal dryness due to hormonal changes, your doctor may recommend hormonal treatments, such as estrogen creams or supplements. *Addressing Underlying Issues* 1. *Gynecological check-up*: Schedule a check-up with your gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions that may be contributing to your discomfort. 2. *Open communication*: Discuss your concerns with your partner, and explore ways to make intercourse more comfortable and enjoyable for you.

I'm a bit worried about using thrombophob gel on my 18-month-old son. Is it safe to apply it on a cut? And also, would it be okay to use after he's had a vaccine? How should I go about applying it if it's fine to use?
