Hello,
Mother used a high-strength capsaicin cream sold over the counter and
took
a warm bath the following day which caused her to almost pass out.

Now, I'd like to know how long before the effects of this cream
are completely gone from the system ?

She won't be applying this topical cream, but how many days
should we expect the symptoms to last.

She experienced extreme discomfort in the legs the day after
she applied this following a warm bath.

Thanks for any info!

My son put some on top of his feet one morning and then put on his socks &
shoes to go to work.  He came home at lunch to wash his feet real well and
put some soothing cream on them.  He should never have covered his feet
after using the capsaicin cream.

and as the old timers here remember, from my own mistake, never mistake
your capsaicin cream for your preparation H.

Try dancing after having rubbed it on your hip. I guess the good news is
that the muscles loosened up -- they didn't have any choice. lol
I have found that soap and water of the cool variety stop the burn
pretty quickly. Be careful what cream you use to cover the 'burn' with
as some creams hold in the heat.  AP -- I would try to go without cream
if possible but be sure she washes well with soap which she is sure is
free of the capsacin; a wash cloth and/ or towel which is free of
capsacin; and cool or cold water. The coolness brings down the heat in
the skin. Even a cool compress might help. If she doesn't get all the
capsacin washed off, it will continue.
