Hi, @bayhorse, I use a prescription 5% lidocaine patch for arthritis. It has no fragrance or scent that I’ve detected. The generic I receive is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, size is 10 cm x 14 cm. My Dr. told me I could use up to 3 at a time if the pain is widespread. It’s very effective. You’ll need a script from your physician, and your pharmacist can tell you what brand they stock.

I also occasionally use Diclofenac Sodium topical gel, 1%. The last tube I purchased was Voltaren gel, which is available OTC. It has what I consider a medicinal smell which I don’t notice once it dries after application. It is very effective. There are other brands of the same medication. Maybe a pharmacist can advise you which has the least ‘fragrance’.
