Abstract:
We present a case of erythromelalgia in a 68 year old lady who responded, within 48 hours, to a twice daily topical application of capsaicin cream 0.025%. Capsaicin cream was stopped after 2 months, and 6 months later the patient continued to have the symptomatic relief she experienced initially.
