A member asked:
If you applied icy hot on skin and used a heating pad, could the cream penetrate they skin into blood stream or body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Penetration: My sense is that many chemicals, those in Sun screens being examples, can be absorbed into the blood stream. It is recommended that you don't overuse ointments, liniments and creams.
