<<"...has anyone tried capsaicin-spiced DMSO as a rub? It might do better than
Zostrix (TM!), or it might have other strange effects. Talk about direct
delivery...scott@why is there no capsaicin-laced hemorrhoid ointment?>>

Well Scott, for health & safety's sake, I sure hope no one is considering
trying DMSO, even if it would be spiced/spiked with our beloved capsaicin!

This viewpoint is based on likely credible information from the following 2
URLs:

http://www.umich.edu/~aaps/water/dmso/

On a lighter note, however, ref. your question about:
"why is there no capsaicin-laced hemorrhoid ointment?";

I don't know, but if & when someone comes out with it,
they may want to consider naming it "Preparation 'H' abanero".  ;-)

Thanks!  :-)
