Have any of you ever used capsaicin for pain?

It’s a salve made out of peppers I think.

Is this a pain in your ear again? Maybe you should be more firm with the doctor, and tell him it’s not going away.

No, this is from a head injury caused by a doctor when I was an infant. But the way I use or don’t use my scalp does affect the ear, too. I think capsaicin is used for the pain of something like surgical scars.

Well like that website says

Always tell your doctor if you are using a dietary supplement or if you are thinking about combining a dietary supplement with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on a dietary supplement.

I was thinking of a salve to rub on the scar that is in pain, not a dietary supplement…
