=== Topicals woefully inadequate ===
Rabbi Ariel Asa has performed hundreds of circumcisions. When families request it, he says he puts an anesthetic on the [[skin]], in an effort to reduce some of the [[pain]]. But he admits it's not very effective.
"Due to the fact that ''[[mohel| moyels]]'' (the people who do the procedure) do it very quickly and the pain that the baby experiences is minimal, I don't think that the overall benefits are gained," he says.
