How Can Burning Sensation And Itching Caused By Capsaicin Cream Be Treated?
Myself and a relative have used Capsaicin cream for pain relief but had a terrible reaction. It is like this: Just stop this reaction , throw me in a burning building GET THIS OFF ME. It builds from an itch to a irritation then a torch-like burn that is unbearable. I told the pharmacist that this should not be OTC!!
