The Original formula AlkaSeltzer with only aspirin, works
somehow to block burning pain in the skin. I use Equate from WalMart, as it only costs about $1.90 a box.

I use it for severe days...only, not every day. Some of us find
it very helpful. Also some posters report plain aspirin in high
dose works too. But one has to be careful with aspirin, because it can cause bleeding. The AlkaSeltzer is aspirin dissolved in water and will not upset the stomach like regular aspirin can. It is very very fast acting too. It can be wonderful at times in fact!
