Any topicals out there to speed up nerve repair?
 
There has got to be something right?

Numb genitals has got to be the worst of all places to have neuropathy. Gets so severely depressing sometimes....:(

I don't think topicals are a good idea for that part of your anatomy where the skin is so sensitive etc.

I would discuss them with my doc first but could you enlighten me on any topicals that are available for this?

There are a few OTC topicals, but are strong in either capsicum (pepper) or menthol.
Too strong for any sensitive area.
Some find relief, but do not promote healing other than to break the pain cycle.
Biofreeze, Icy Hot, capsicum cremes (arthritis pain relief cremes), Super Blue Stuff- to name a few.

I am not aware of anything "topical" for repair.
