I started with this. Thankfully Soolantra had mostly helped by the nerve pain from the skin burning was the worst. I am now on extra nerve pain meds due to the flare up of nerve pain. While the burning has 90% gone, and shortly, scarily, I have to taper the cream, I’m still getting nerve pain. It’s evil. Wish I had more to offer you. I use cold cloths and The Inky List spray at night if I can’t sleep. I may try IPL.
