Is pain and heat from skin normal?

No it is not normal. It sounds like you are having a reaction to the product. Please stop using it.

I've never personally experienced pain nor heat from using this product, but my skin is incredibly resilient (I'm olive and oily and never sunburn). My best guess is that your skin is far more sensitive than mine and perhaps you're letting the gel dry too long and therefore rubbing harder to get it off. The added friction would produce heat and probably some skin sensitivity, too, so rubbing it off sooner or re-wetting if it's dried too long may help. And, if you really just have fair, sensitive skin, this product may just be too harsh an exfoliant for you. Best of luck.

No it is not normal. This brand is a total scum, you can google it, a lot of people have been tricked into buying it and they refuse to give a refund after it is sold.

It's too hot to wear at night. I did try. Actually, I've tried a lit if different approaches to relive foot and ankle pain, but none has worked. I keep looking!

I have a very sensitive skin. It caused me irritation and it gives a burning sensation unless you dilute it with water as indicated. Good for hair, not so good for the skin.

I have experienced it getting quite warm. Not so hot that it has burned me however.

I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well. Boy am I sorry. I did not feel a mere "stinging SOME on the skin". I felt intense BURNING for hours. And my fingers are still all crinkly & 1/2 numb from the DMSO. My feet also are crinkly & weird. I will be sure to dilute next time... or put less on.. rub less... or SOME thing... but won't do THAT again. ;-)I recommend G. Tate's suggestion to use sparingly... ;-) -Sounds like full strength can be do-able, but go lightly on it... it just takes a little. It's easy to over do it, and then you get weird, burning hot, crinkly skin otherwise, for awhile, so take it easy! :-) I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well.

I just drop a few drops into the palm of my hand then gently massage it over my face & it . I don't experience a burning feeling though. It seems your skin is sensitive to it .I would try adding it to face lotion & see if that helps.

It was too hot for me. It's not noticeable when you first lay down, but by the morning I started waking up repeatedly from the warmth. I tried to move around but any spot I moved too got too warm after 10 mins.

I do not usually get heat from the top, if any heat occurs I feel it on my legs or on the table after I move the laptop.

We have the memory foam mattress and with this topper I have not noticed the heat as before. This sore hip and shoulder is no more and it is so comfortable, I do not want to get up. As far as the heat goes, I do have a physical problem with heat, it comes and goes, so don't count on me.

I need to correct my statement to you. Yes, it is hot to the touch. Apparently I hadn't noticed until you asked and after I responded to you. Sorry about that.

Yes I do. I read a review that heat is only transmitted to the front of the head but that's not the case for me. I feel heat all over my head.

Not normally. Most people will experience redness, but not actual skin peeling or flaking.

I believe your own body heat, heats up the wet pad. I used it to hold some magnets in place to reduce the pain I have. Really haven't used it that much.

You can feel a slight tingle but that is firming your skin. I have sensitive skin and it does not bother me. If you don't see a reaction I would think ok
