Reply to comment by Wagamaga in New information about the role of a molecule found in chillis in reducing foot pain by healing damaged nerves. After three months, the team found that those who’d been treated with the capsaicin patch reported that their pain had reduced significantly, compared to those treated with standard care by Wagamaga

Wait, I can apply cap to potentially address my psoriasis patches? Will have to try that.

Shows his own patches.

Trust me, this won't be painless. Also I strongly suppose that this research was conducted by a team of crocodiles that wanted humans under the hot sauce.

But, well, better than nothing.

Here's a weird one, I'm not allergic to poison oak so I rubbed it on my psoriasis patches... no more psoriasis!

It's due to the antigen of poison oak distracting your immune system. These immune cells are distracted impeding the psoriasis.

If it works for you, it could be used in a medicinal way.

Nope, cured up all of my infection. Seems to take care of fungal infections too..

Ironically it's a wonderful plant for the few that aren't allergic.

Before you shower it off, rub dirt on the skin to take care of most of the oils.. this way it's not left any residue in the shower.

It just removed it.

I had it for years (and on my genitals..) as soon as I applied it, it vanished in a few weeks.

The prior study that I read about used 8% patches so they had to anesthetize the area prior to application. The over the counter roll on from CVS is 0.15% and that burns hot enough.
