Hello fellow burning feet and hands sufferers. Just in the past month and a half, after having looked at capsaicin in past year or more but being afraid to try it, I am ELATED to report that using a Walgreens 0.25% capsaicin patch has helped more than ANYTHING I have tried since this nightmare began in 2015. I do still have to be in a cool environment but even in less cool situations the pain is not as severe as it can be.
I was afraid to try it because it is so counterintuitive as capsaicin is the property in hot peppers that give it the heat and burns your tongue when eating spicy food and I thought why would I put something on my already burning feet that has burning as it's main component? All I have to say is it works!
