Past studies documented that capsaicin plays a vital role in the prevention of atopic dermatitis as well as psoriasis. Moreover, TRPV1 is also very important for skin health because it acts as a capsaicin receptor. It is found in nociceptive nerve fibers and nonneural structures.

Topical capsaicin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: burning sensation at the place where capsaicin was applied. redness, itching, or irritation at the place where capsaicin was applied.

Do not use capsaicin topical if you are allergic to chili peppers, or if you have ever had an allergic reaction to capsaicin topical. Capsaicin can cause a burning sensation wherever it is applied.

Capsaicin is taken from chilli peppers. It works mainly by reducing Substance P, a pain transmitter in your nerves. Results from RCTs assessing its role in treating osteoarthritis suggest that it can be effective in reducing pain and tenderness in affected joints, and it has no major safety problems.

Capsaicin cream should never be applied to open wounds or cuts. Once you apply the medication, it's important to wash your hands as it can burn sensitive areas such as the eyes or mouth. Always consult with a doctor or healthcare professional before starting a new medication.

You should apply capsaicin cream regularly, four times a day, with a gap of at least 4 hours between each application. With time and regular applications, the nerve endings will become more desensitised and the pain killing effect will increase. It can take up to 6 weeks to achieve its full effect.

This study demonstrates that topical capsaicin, applied in a 48 hour occlusive dressing, leads to cutaneous autonomic nerve fiber injury with associated functional impairment.

The demonstration that capsaicin causes extensive cutaneous autonomic nerve degeneration with different degeneration and regeneration rates of sensory and autonomic neurons enhances the capsaicin model for the study of disease study modifying agents.

Topical capsaicin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

• burning sensation at the place where capsaicin was applied.
• redness, itching, or irritation at the place where capsaicin was applied.
• cough.
