"I bought this Capzasin-HP yesterday and tried it for my post-neuralgia shingles pain. I was very disappointed in it as it caused more pain, and my skin looked scalded where I applied it. I had to wash it off after 15 minutes due to the intense burning and apply aloe vera gel three times in order to get relief. I feel it was a waste of my money just to try it as it was recommended. This should be removed from shelves and not sold as I cringe to think of a small child having this used on them. The burning was intense."

"I have had shingles for the past month. I read that Capzasin HP would help the pain after the shingles were healed. Last night I put it on my body from the front, side, and back. Instantly, it started to burn, but I thought the pain would go away in a few minutes. However, the pain intensified, and within ten minutes I couldn't tolerate the painfulness of the Capzasin HP on my skin. The whole area was swollen, and a bright red rash had developed. I got in the shower and repeatedly washed the whole area with soap and lukewarm water. Then I applied a cold compress to the areas and received some relief. When I went to bed, it felt like I had a heating pad under me. I would not recommend Capzasin HP to anyone with shingles."

"Works well for my major post-spine fusion surgery causing foot, leg, and back neuropathy pain going on my second year. People saying it is worse than the pain itself don't know what real pain is and should be using Vicks, Tiger Balm, or maybe baby aspirin. This stuff works with taking turmeric capsules as an anti-inflammatory. Just learn to use it wisely and when really needed, so as not to get desensitized to it. It's not a cure-all, but definitely helps relieve the pain."

"I used this when I had shingles for the pain. Now I use it for seborrhea. It burns like the dickens but then numbs. Itching stops."
