Abstract
Peripheral neuropathies associated with Diabetes Mellitus and infection with the AIDS virus may be treated effectively by the periodic topical application of a composition containing capsicum oleoresin as the active ingredient. The oleoresin is incorporated into a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to form a lotion, ointment, cream or the like. When applied to the skin of the affected area at least daily, pain and burning associated with the neuropathy become reduced in severity or eliminated.
