Method I bought numbing cream of eBay and it actually fucking worked...

So if anyone wants to go for the exsanguination method, get numbing cream from eBay (if it looks Chinese it's probably better lol) because I just applied some on my skin and I can't feel anything in that area. I think it's got Lidocaine in it.
I don't think I'm going for the exsanguination method, but I ordered some anyway to see if it worked and it does. The reason I didn't think it would work is because I thought anaesthetics were prescription only in the UK.

It's a topical medication only. Soon as the upper layers of skin are cut, the pain will start.

What was the product called? I've been self harming for several years so I'm not scared of blood or bleeding to death - seems like the most peaceful method in my case. It's the pain that scares me more than anything.

Could it be placebo?

True, but apparently the most painful layers is the dermis (which is the upper layer). You don't feel anything in the fat layer but the muscle layer is apparently very painful

Just search "tattoo numbing cream" and get one with lidocaine and prilocaine in it. If you're from the UK, here is the link for the exact one I got.

Doubt it for something like numbing cream. I put significant pressure on that area with a fork and I couldn't feel a thing.
