Capsaicin (cap-SAY-sin) is the active ingredient in hot peppers, which produces a characteristic heat sensation when applied to the skin (dermal drug delivery).  An adequate trial of capsaicin usually requires four applications daily, around the clock, for at least three to four weeks. Gloves should be worn during application, and hands should be washed with soap and water after application to avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes.  Pretreatment with lidocaine ointment may decrease initial burning sensation.
