Acute Gout attacks hurt like hell. The best treatment for an acute Gout attack is a cortisone shot right into the joint having the attack. See a Podiatrist or orthopod to have that performed. But, there are creams and lotions that can help with the pain in an acute Gout attack. What you want is a cream or lotion that will give a numbing feel to the area, thus decreasing the pain with tactile impression on the area of the Gout attack. Below I have listed the best creams or lotions to put on in the midst of an acute Gout attack:
Mendamine Cream– This cream will be cold going on, but has inflammatory properties earning 4 and half star reviews from many customers.
Homeopathic Products 11ml Gout control– This is one of the few Gout creams or lotions made specifically for a Gout attack. One of the things you need during a Gout attack is a cold cream in order to counteract the heat provided from a Gout attack.
Penetrax– One of the more well known creams and lotions on the market. If you are looking from something to have similar effect to biofreeze this would be the choice. This cream is actually more effective than Biofreeze because it is a cream as opposed to spray on, which gives it better penetrance.
