Yes! Several MyMyelomaTeam members have found relief using topical creams and ointments for neuropathy burning and tingling. Here are some options that have worked for others:
- Capsaicin cream – made from a compound in hot peppers, sometimes recommended for nerve pain
- Lidocaine patches or creams – a topical anesthetic that can help numb the area
