Topical creams and gels are a common form of treatment for bunion and big toe joint pain. These products are designed to be applied directly to the affected area and can provide localized pain relief. Here are some of the best topical creams and gels for bunions and big toe joint pain:

Capsaicin: Capsaicin is a natural compound found in chili peppers that is often used in topical pain relief creams. Capsaicin works by reducing the levels of a neurotransmitter called Substance P, which is involved in the transmission of pain signals. A study published in the Clinical Journal of Pain found that capsaicin cream was effective for reducing foot pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

NSAID creams: NSAID creams contain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or diclofenac and work by reducing inflammation and pain. A study published in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research found that topical NSAIDs were effective for reducing pain and improving function in patients with hallux valgus (the medical term for bunions).

Lidocaine: Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that can be used to numb the affected area and provide pain relief. A study published in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association found that lidocaine cream was effective for reducing pain in patients with Morton's neuroma, a condition that can cause pain in the ball of the foot.

Menthol: Menthol is a natural compound found in mint plants that has a cooling and analgesic effect. A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that a cream containing menthol and camphor was effective for reducing pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

It's worth noting that while these topical creams and gels may provide some relief for bunion and big toe joint pain, they should be used as a complementary therapy alongside other treatments, such as orthotics or physical therapy. It's also important to talk to your doctor before using any topical creams or gels, as they may interact with other medications or medical conditions.
