Zostrix - Capsaicin 0.025% w/w
This was one of the many things I've tried for my nerve pain.
It is a topical capsaicin cream, like pepper spray for your skin. Although to my disappointment, it doesn't burn much.

Don't put it on your food.

In terms of effectiveness for nerve pain, it seemed to work alright. It took the edge off.
I was tempted to try the 0.075% cream, but cost put me off.

It also leaves a residue on your skin which can get on your clothes.

Price: 2/5 (RRP $19.99 for 45g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)
Effectiveness: 3.5/5

Selsun Gold

This one is for you, Pumpking!

This is a more potent version of Selsun blue. This can be used as a topical treatment for rashes (my doctor said that to me, but check with yours before you do, mine may just have been messing with me... the Hippocratic oath is now optional... Never mind, it says you can do it on the bottle, sorry for doubting you, Dr S!)

This soapy-scented shampoo beauty contains 25mg/mL of selenium sulfide, is yellow in colour (truth in advertising!) and works a treat when my scalp is derping it up.

Price: 2/5 (rrp $12.99 for 200mL)
Scent: 2/5 (not pretty, not gross)
Effectiveness: 5/5
