This is the substance that heats the chiles. The purified form of capsaicin has been found to relieve pain by reducing substance P, which is found in nerve endings and is involved in transmitting neuralgic and arthritic pain signals to the brain. Pain relief is not instantaneous after application, as it is the <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1504\">cumulative<\/span> depletion of substance P over a period of weeks producing the full effect.<\/p>\n<div id=\"square-placement-country-holder\" class=\"country-dependent advert\">\n<div class=\"box-placement square-placement\">\n<div class=\"advert__frame\">\n<div id=\"dermnet-dermnet-mobbox\">\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFPara-que-se-usa-la-capsaicina\"><\/span>What is capsaicin used for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Capsaicin is approved for use for the symptomatic relief of pain associated with osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n<p>It has been used to treat nerve pain, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Postherpetic neuralgia: Mild to severe pain on the surface of the skin in patients who have just had shingles (<a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/en\/wiki\/infeccion-de-herpes\/\" title=\"Herpes zoster\">Herpes zoster<\/a>).

Capsaicin should be used in the following way.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply a small amount of cream with your fingers and rub it well into the affected area 3 or 4 times a day.<\/li>\n<li>Wash your hands after application if the hands are not the treatment sites or if you are applying the cream to someone else. If used for arthritis affecting the hands, do not wash your hands for at least 30 minutes after applying the cream.<\/li>\n<li>If used to treat postherpetic neuralgia, only apply capsaicin after herpes sores have healed.<\/li>\n<li>Capsaicin should be used regularly every day as directed. Immediate pain relief is not to be expected, depending on the type of pain. The full effect may take several weeks of regular use to achieve.<\/li>\n<li>Continue to use capsaicin regularly if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Precauciones\"><\/span>Cautions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Capsaicin cream should not be applied to broken or infected skin.

This sensation is related to the action of capsaicin on the skin and is to be expected. Approximately 50% of patients will experience mild to moderate stinging or burning. This sensation generally subsides after the first few days of application and in most cases will go away with time and continued use.<\/p>\n<p>Methods used to reduce this sensation include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid taking a hot bath or shower just before or after applying capsaicin cream.<\/li>\n<li>Try to stay cool, don&#039;t wear tight clothing or get too hot as heat can increase the sensation.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain the recommended or prescribed dosing schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"textBlock\">\n<div class=\"grey-box\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 0.9em;\">New Zealand approved data sheets are the official source of information for these prescription drugs, including approved uses and risk information.
