Why Does Capciderm Cream Burn? How Does the Burning Pass?

Answer

Capciderm cream may cause a burning sensation in the applied area due to the capsaicin content. Capsaicin stimulates the nerve endings in the skin, creating a temporary feeling of heat and mild irritation, which is perceived as burning by users. The burning sensation usually decreases over time when the cream is applied in a thin layer and at the recommended dose. If the burning is very uncomfortable, washing the application area with cold water may provide relief. However, if the burning is severe, or if redness, blistering, or other allergic reactions occur, the use of the cream should be discontinued and a doctor consulted.
