General & Family Physician 's  Response
too much pain relief cream I assume it had capsaicin which could irritate the skin and caused those spots
so best thing is to apply some calamine lotion or sandal powder to calm those irritant red spots.

give some time to heal while you take care by taking multivitamins especially vitamin C orally to speed up healing process.
