Excess irritation: These 2 products produced too much irritation for your skin. Did redness develop? Try warm soaks and let the liniments wear off. Don't put anything else on your skin until the irritation clears.

See details: Capsaicin frequently causes a significant burning sensation. Topicals have little benefit in most chronic pain issues.
