A member asked:
Which one is the best --icy hot, capzasin-p, zostrix (capsaicin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
My option capzacin: Cazacin actually blocks a neuropeptide called substance p which is released when a cell is damaged and carries the pain message to the brain. Icyhot is simply a counter irritant and zostrix (capsaicin) is an anti-viral helping the hepes type virus.
