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
- Menthol-based creams – many members apply these to their feet, hands, and legs several times a day
- Cocoa butter – massaged into affected areas for soothing relief
- Vicks VapoRub – one MyMyelomaTeam member swears by rubbing it into sore spots, especially the feet It's worth trying a few to see what works best, as everyone's experience is different. That said, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor before starting any new topical treatment, especially during active myeloma treatment, to make sure there are no interactions or concerns.
