Thanks, anything that’s thick like Vicks makes it worse. I’ve got an arsenal of many herbal salves. My husband has two prescription topicals and both made it burn. My daughter has a tallow based cream (for babies and eczema) I used that today and it’s working longer than anything yet. There’s nothing good in a subway, not surprising you had a reaction. I’ve had about two subs from there in my life. I eat Jersey Mike’s or don’t eat subs.
