What to expect
Mayo Clinic notes that capsaicin products may need repeated use and can cause burning or stinging, especially early in use.
Application precautions
Wash hands after application unless the hands are the treatment area, avoid eyes and broken skin, and follow the exact product label.
Category comparison
Capsaicin is neither an NSAID nor a botanical blend like Balmorex. Compare it based on its active ingredient and intended use.
