Capsaicin topical for Postherpetic Neuralgia "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."
