Answer: Topical Anesthesia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Topical anesthetics are used to treat ailments including small burns, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and minor cuts and scratches that cause discomfort and irritation.

The nerve terminals in the skin are numbed by topical anesthesia. They don't render patients unconscious like general anesthetics used during surgery do. The majority of topical anesthetics are accessible over-the-counter, but your doctor may have specific recommendations for their usage and dosage given your particular medical condition.
