Welcome to HCM!
I appreciate your concern towards the painful wound dressing.
Indeed the process of wound dressing is quite painful even if it is done by expert paramedic or doctor.
Lidocain spray can be effective in reducing the intensity of the severity of pain during wound dressing.
I hope it will work and make the dressing less painful.
Best regards!
