@jimhd What % lidocaine cream are you using? I have 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine combined for under $10 with insurance

The lidocaine cream I use is 5%. I've tried Capzasin several times but it had no effect on the neuropathy pain. It must help some people, or my pain specialist wouldn't have recommended it. I found out that even though I wash my hands thoroughly, if I touched my eye it burned - really burned, and for quite a while. I decided that if I give it another try I'll use latex gloves. The lidocaine is a prescription, of course. I think I'll try the OTC cream and see if it does anything.
