'Capsicum' is the latin genus name for 'pepper'. Save your money, and make the cream yourself at home.
You can do this quickly by placing 1 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/4 cup olive, or other vegetable oil into a double boiler, set on lowest heat setting, cover and let simmer for about 3 hours. Strain out the cayenne powder, return to double boiler, and add about a tablespoon beeswax. Once it has melted, pour into a clean, sterile jar and let it harden.
Alternatively, you could purchase essential oil of capsicum fairly inexpensively at Newdirectionsaromatics.com and just add a few drops of this per tsp vegetable oil, to use as a massage oil. The little 15 ml bottle will last you a very long time
Capsaicin is the active ingredient found in chili peppers that makes it so hot. It works by depleting the nerve of Substance P which is responsible for sensing pain. So, no more pain in that area.
You can find capsaicin cream at your local pharmacy. Usually sells around $7-15.
