An OTC, or 'over-the-counter' pain cream, is usually a topical cream or gel pain relief formula applied to the affected area. These pain relief creams typically contain what are known as topical analgesics. These pain relievers have been shown to provide relief by being applied directly to the skin, which is then absorbed to help alleviate pain symptoms. The most common topical analgesics in pain creams that are available without a prescription today contain the following: capsaicin, a compound found in chili peppers; menthol; and camphor, among other ingredients to help with absorption and lessen the likelihood of skin irritation.
