I strongly suggest that you do NOT try this. I had a bad experience when I rubbed a raw Hab on the back of my calf to remove the soarness resulting from a leg cramp. Actually, the big mistake was applying the pepper right before going to sleep. I tried using soap, skin lotion, Noxema, Sea Breeze(OUCH!!!), and milk to deaden the pain enough for me to go to sleep. I finally ended up taking 30 minute COLD shower. This wouldn,t have been so bad during the day, but all of this occured between 2:00 and 4:30 in the morning. Not a very pleasant experience when you have to get up for work at 6:00 a.m. John "Eatin' Habs but not wearin' them" Lilly
