"Well, I was prescribe this capsaicin 0.075% cream, used it on my feet and legs around 11pm. By 1am my sleep was distrupted by the most insane pain ever. 10 out of 10 pain. I’m a 29 year old man that was brought to tears. My partner thought someone had died. The shower made it 100% worst.! What is this nightmare stuff. This product shouldn’t be available. Black list this rubbish and only give it to the people your seriously don’t like.!! AVOID"

"I had a really bad experience using capsaicin. My. husband rubbed it into my shoulder when I had severe tendonitis, thinking it would reduce the pain. It created such severe burning and itching that I had to shower immediately to get it off, and it didn't relieve it. Months later, my husband had severe pain due to trigger finger. Thinking I might have had an allergic reaction, we applied it to his finger. Again, severe burning and itching that caused his sleep to be disrupted. I wrapped a cold wash cloth around his finger and after awhile it started burning again. I threw the rest of the tube in the trash. Big warning: don't use this unless you don't mind severe burning and itching."
