While BLT cream is generally safe for most patients, it should not be used on broken skin or large areas without medical supervision due to potential risks such as methemoglobinemia (a rare blood disorder). Patients with cardiovascular dysfunction, hepatic or renal impairment, or allergies to anesthetics should consult their healthcare provider before use.
