>I was wondering if any of you tried to use a desensetizing spray or cream during your experiences, to lessen the sensetivity of the newly exposed head. I've seen sprays with benzocaine as their main ingredient and maybe this would help? Only after the initial open areas have healed of course. Anyway, advice?
Of course, you want to be very careful in areas with mucus membranes (and his glans still will be a mucus surface until the keratin layers of skin grow over it). The sprays or ointments made for teething pain ought to be as safe as anything can be.
