Abstract

SummaryLocal and regional anesthetic procedures are an integral part of daily dermatological practice. Safe and effective analgesia in skin and soft tissues is crucial for otherwise painful diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. Tumescent local anesthesia allows for pain‐free interventions that previously had to be done by using general anesthesia. Older patients with multiple co‐morbidities are especially suited for local anesthetic procedures, because they may significantly reduce surgical risks. For dermatologists, the knowledge of mode of action and toxicity of local anesthetics, as well as the emergency management of their potential complications, is essential.
