In addition to above answers, benzocaine is a topical anesthetic used for local anesthesia of oral tissues. But it also is in many over-the-counter meds such as sunburn sprays and insect bite remedies.

Usually, anything with "Caine" in the name is a type of anesthetic. I work at a dental office, and we use Lidocaine, Carbocaine, Polocaine, etc. as a local anesthetic. I believe Benzocaine is a topical anesthetic. It would be used to superficially numb the gum area before an injection. It can also be found in throat sprays (for sore throats). Also, it can be used for babies who are teething.

I think the Caine part at the end indicates that it has a numbing effect in some way.

You rub it on your legs for various veins or emphasemia, when the veins in the legs tingle
