Capzasin-P and Zostrix (capsaicin), made from crushed chili peppers, comes in a cream or roll-on form. It works by depleting nerve endings that pass chemicals from one nerve to another to transmit pain signals. You have to apply it four to five times a day, and it takes a couple of weeks to be effective.

Cons One risk: it may interfere with wound healing, which is often a problem for people with diabetes.
