Anesthetics in Dermatology

As part of our commitment to resident education, Cutis is excited to offer this new monthly section with board-relevant, easy-to-review material. Each month this section will focus on the key facts of commonly tested topics. It will be a resource for review while on the go, for group study, or for last-minute preparation. This section is not meant to be comprehensive but rather a supplement to other study materials.

This fact sheet serves to review commonly encountered anesthetics in dermatology, focusing on their properties and issues regarding safe use of these important medications.
